Abstract: A wheel handling apparatus has an upright frame movably supporting a carrier connected to a wheel holder and a power unit for operating the wheel holder. A winch mounted on the carrier is used to move the carrier along the frame. The wheel holder has a body rotatably mounted on the carrier and a cone head connected to the power unit. The body supports arms that are moved into engagement with a wheel when the head is moved by the power unit into the body.

Abstract: An expandable joiner is used to secure tubular frame members of a pickup truck box rack in end-to-end relationship. The joiner is adaped to be located in adjacent end sections of the tubular members. The joiner has a longitudinal channel separating a pair of jaws. The jaws have adjacent spaced surfaces providing the longitudinal channel. Each spaced surface has a plurality of longitudinal grooves therein. Screws threadably engage the jaws longitudinal grooves to expand the joiner to releasably couple the frame members in end-to-end relationship.

Abstract: A rack assembly having a plurality of tubular members adapted to be mounted on a pickup truck box. The sides of the rack assembly taper upwardly and outwardly to increase accessibility to items contained in the truck box. A plurality of tubular joiners located within adjacent end sections of the tubular members releasably couple the members in end-to-end relationship. The outer surface of each joiner has a circumferential annular groove intersecting at least one longitudinal groove adapted to cooperate with an inwardly extended tab provided on one of the end sections to lock the tubular members together.
