A movable crossbar / load restraint for a vehicle

A crossbar assembly is provided for a vehicle, in particular a pickup truck. The crossbar assembly comprises a crossbar 7 and attachment means 8 for attaching the crossbar to the vehicle 1. The attachment means comprises a guide rail 10 which provides a channel (14 figure 2b) along which the crossbar can be moved. The crossbar is configured to be movable about the attachment means and is securable in at least one position relative to the attachment means. The guide rail is a C-channel rail. The crossbar can be moved along the full length of the guide rail and can be rotated through an arc so that it can serve as a load partition when in an upright position or as a load restraint at the rear of the vehicle when in a horizontal position (figure 1b). The attachment means may comprise a locking plate (25 figure 3) and a bracket (18) which are provided with corresponding locking pins and blind holes for securing the crossbar in the vertical or horizontal positions. Further blind holes/slots may be provided for locking the crossbar at other angles.
