US Cargo Control Ratcheting Cargo Bar 40–70" Adjustable — Alloy Steel, 360° Pivot Rubber Non‑Slip Pads

The US Cargo Control Ratcheting Cargo Bar is an adjustable, heavy‑duty load lock that expands from 40" to 70" to secure gear in pickup beds, SUVs, minivans, and small trailers.

Keep your cargo from shifting with a simple, mechanical solution built from alloy steel and equipped with non‑slip rubber feet. This ratcheting cargo bar combines a compact 1" pole diameter with a finger‑release ratchet and 360° pivoting rubber pads to create a versatile divider or tie‑down substitute for everyday loads.

How does this cargo bar stop items from sliding during transport?

The bar locks in place with a ratcheting mechanism that lets you expand and tension the pole between vehicle walls. Rubber feet pivot to match surface angles and grip without scratching, holding boxes, groceries, and small equipment steady.

• Ratcheting finger‑release extends and secures the bar quickly
• 360° pivot rubber pads adapt to irregular bed or interior surfaces
• Alloy steel shaft resists bending under normal loads

What sizes and materials are used, and will it fit my vehicle?

This load lock fits openings from 40" to 70", making it suitable for many pickup truck beds, SUVs, minivans, and small trailers. The pole is 1" in diameter and made from alloy steel for durability while weighing about 4.1 lbs.

• Adjustable length: 40" collapsed to 70" extended
• Pole diameter: 1" alloy steel for strength and low profile
• Weight: approximately 4.1 lbs — portable and easy to handle

How do I install and remove the ratcheting cargo bar safely?

Installation requires no tools: place the bar between the two surfaces, lift the ratchet to adjust to the gap, and click to lock. To release, press the finger‑release and retract; avoid over‑tightening to prevent damage to vehicle walls or trim.

• Tool‑free setup — just extend and ratchet into position
• Finger‑release allows controlled retraction and removal
• Recommended: moderate tension to avoid stressing vehicle panels

Can I use this bar for applications beyond a truck bed?

Yes — the design is adaptable for interior spaces where a temporary divider or brace is useful. It works well in minivan cargo areas, SUV cargo holds, small trailers, or even between shelving units for short‑term stabilization.

• Compatible with SUVs, minivans, and small trailers
• Ideal for securing groceries, boxes, small appliances, and gear
• Non‑slip pads prevent movement and protect finished surfaces
