A carrier rack and rack retainer for use with a pickup truck includes a rack having an assemblable set of at least two rack segments each having a transverse bridge and two columnar bridge support struts, each strut having offset, i.e. parallel but non-collinear, upper end and lower end portions. The upper end portion of each strut mates with a discrete end of the bridge of a discrete rack segment in at least two discrete rotated positions of the strut about the longitudinal axis of the upper end portion of the strut, thereby providing a rack segment with selectable spacing between the lower end portions of the struts. The rack retainer provides at least two pairs of columnar pillars mountable adjacent side walls of the pickup truck cargo area. The spacing between the lower end portions of the struts of each assembled rack segment may be selected to be approximately equal to the spacing between the pillars of a discrete pair of mounted pillars. Each mounted pillar mates with the lower end portion of a discrete one of the struts of a discrete assembled rack segment with the strut in any of its rotated positions.

Bâti de chargement et dispositif de retenuedu bâti pour utilisation sur une camionnette et comprenant un assemblage composé d'au moins deux segments de bâti ayant chacun un pont transversal et deux supports de pont prismatiques, chaque support comportant des bouts supérieur et inférieur décalés, c.-à-d. parallèles mais non colinéaires. Le bout supérieur de chaque support s'adapte à un bout donné du pont d'un segment de bâti donné dans au moins deux positions données d'orientation par rotation du support autour de l'axe longitudinal de son bout supérieur, ce qui donne un segment de bâti avec choix d'espacement entre les bouts inférieurs des supports. Le dispositif de retenue du bâti comporte au moins deux paires de pilastres prismatiques qui sont montés contre les parois du plateau de la camionnette. L'espacement entre les bouts inférieurs des supports de chaque segment de bâti assemblé peut être choisi de façon à être à peu près égal à l'espacement des pilastres d'une paire donnée de pilastres montés Chaque pilastre monté s'adapte au bout inférieur de l'un des supports d'un segment de bâti assemblé donné, le support se trouvant dans l'une ou l'autre de ses positions d'orientation par rotation.
