Pickup Truck Cargo Bars Cargo bars are the load securement solution for pickup trucks or smaller trailers. Whether it’s tools, totes, coolers, or boxes, a pickup truck cargo bar keeps your load secure from shifting or sliding. Designed to attach to two surfaces using tension, our adjustable cargo bars prevent your cargo from moving and causing damage. They can also be used to to push cargo away from a surface rather than use force to pull it toward an anchor point. What Is a Pickup Truck Cargo Bar? A pickup load bar (also called a truck bed cargo bar ) is a telescoping bar that fits across the width of your truck bed.
