Abstract
A safety block is disclosed which may be attached to the rearward end of the cargo bed of a pipe truck which has a powered pipe lift. The safety block includes a bar which automatically raises when pipe is being unloaded using the powered pipe lift and forms a barrier which prevents injuries and promotes worker safety by creating a barrier to prevent other pieces of pipe from rolling off of the rear of the cargo platform.
