Abstract: An apparatus supports one or more articles of various sizes on a vehicle surface during transport with a vehicle. The apparatus includes a substantially planar platform for supporting the articles, and one or more straps for securing the articles to the platform. The platform includes: a top slip-resistant surface for preventing the article from sliding along the slip-resistant top surface; a bottom slip-resistant surface for preventing the platform from sliding along the vehicle surface; a plurality of bearing members; a plurality of slots for selectively engaging the straps; one or more handles; and a recess defined within a bottom area of the platform containing the plurality of slots. The straps support the articles by engaging the platform through two or more of the slots, bearing against two or more of the bearing members and passing through the recess without contacting the vehicle surface.
