Abstract: A device for automatically stabilizing and holding steel coils to a truck bed. The device can be used for securing differently-sized loads because of its adjustability, and the device does not extend beyond the existing width dimension of the truck bed to any substantial degree. In a first embodiment, a pair of curved members are secured to the load by means of a curved intermediate connecting member. In another embodiment, a pair of pivotal arm members are secured in opposing relation on each side of the truck bed via bracket arrangements. The load-contacting members are adjustable cushioning pads and they have a curved configuration. The devices may be operated manually, hydraulically or pneumatically.
