Abstract: A cargo liner and cargo holder system includes a mat having a plurality of protrusions extending from a base. Locking members include a plurality of engagement members extending from a body and are adapted to engage with the protrusions of the mat. The mat includes a plurality of geometrically-shaped protrusions which can be octagonally shaped or cylindrically shaped. The locking members can be secured to boxes or other objects for securement to the mat. The mat also includes a lip extending around the perimeter of the mat for containment of any liquids therein. The mat also includes two layers, a polyethylene first layer and an olefin-friendly rubber layer. The locking members can be modified and secured to a bag-hanging device. Movable side members can be secured to the locking members for securement of boxes to the mat. Also disclosed is a method for making the mat.

Abstract: An apparatus for conveying materials from a vehicle flat bed having a back end opposite sides spaced a distance apart and a tailgate (14) hinged to the bed for movement between an open position and a closed position. The apparatus includes a roller (100) having a length substantially equal to the length of the tailgate (14) and a flat flexible belt (50) having an underside adapted to slide along a sliding surface in the bed, wherein the belt (50) attaches to the roller (100). The length of the belt (50) is sufficient so that it can extend from the roller (100) into at least a portion of the flat bed. The belt (50) is adapted to be wound onto the roller (100). The roller (100) attaches to the tailgate (14) by a bracket (200, 202) and strap arrangement (280). The strap arrangement (280) includes a tourniquet buckle (294). A crank handle (156) is provided for rotating the roller (100).

The roller attaches to the tailgate by a bracket and strap arrangement. The strap arrangement includes a tourniquet buckle. A crank handle is provided for rotating the roller. In operation, the flexible belt is extended into the flat bed area and bulk material can be placed thereon and then moved toward the roller when the roller is rotated, thereby depositing the bulk material on the ground.
