ABSTRACT A tailgate loader of a truck or the like, the improvement of a load retention fence which comprises; a pair of elongated arms pivotally mounted on said platform at a side edge thereof at a point adjacent said inner end of said platform. The arms are movable relative to said platform between a storage position in which they are upright and extend substantially parallel to the platform when the platform is in its storage position and a deployed position in which they extend upwardly and rearwardly from the inner end of the platform when the platform is in its deployed position. Flexible side fence chains connect the distal end of each arm to an adjacent slide member of the lift mechanism so as to prevent rotation of each arm relative to the platform beyond that required for movement between said storage position and said deployed position of said arms. Tie chains connect the distal end of each arm and the outer end of said platform, tie chains having a length so as to be taut when said platform is in its deployed position and the arms are in their deployed position. The tie chains serve to automatically deploy said arms in response to movement of said platform between its storage position and its deployed position. An outer fence is detachably mountable at the distal ends of the arms and extends transversely therebetween when said arms are deployed so as to form a load retaining fence at a substantial distance above the outer end of the platform when the platform is in its deployed position, said outer fence is detachable so as to be removable to avoid forming an obstruction when the arms are in their storage position.
