Abstract: The support unit is essentially a box-like structure having a bottom, a top, two opposing side walls, a front door, a locking device for the front door, and a rear wall opposing the front door. The front door is pivotally attached to the side walls and positioned to allow a tool box or other container to be removed from, or placed into the support unit when the door is open and to prevent removal of the container when the door is closed. The container support unit is designed to securely hold a toolbox, or other box-like container, such as a U.S. Army-issue ammunition can. The support unit can be mounted to the side wall of the cargo area of a pickup truck, under the top rail of the cargo area sidewall, in front or behind the wheel well and suspended above the floor of the cargo area. The support unit can also be mounted on other vehicles, such as a boat, or any other suitable structure, such as a garage wall.

Abstract: The wheeled cargo container for a pickup or other similar vehicle is a cargo box that will swing out to facilitate the loading of cargo. The design allows the weight of the box and the cargo placed into it to be carried by the shoulder of the hinge bracket and the wheel or wheels. The weight therefore is not a hanging weight as would be the case of a door on its hinges. When the wheeled cargo container is retracted to the out position it stops directly above the tailgate. This allows a person to load cargo without the need to bend over to reach past the tailgate and into the bed of pickup or other similar vehicle. When the wheeled cargo container is retracted into the bed of a vehicle it is kept in place by a bumper that rests against the inside of the tailgate of said vehicle. The container therefore cannot move while the vehicle is in motion and the tailgate is closed.
