Claim:
An assembly for locating and/or restraining a load carried on a tray of a truck or other vehicle that comprises: (a) at least one line of openings in the tray at spaced intervals along at least a part of a length of the tray, wherein the openings are in the form of keyholes; and (b) at least one chock for locating and/or restraining a load against forward or rearward movement on the tray, wherein the chock is generally triangular in side view and comprises a base for contacting the tray and two inclined walls extending from opposite ends of the base and connected together at upper ends and forming an apex of the chock, and with the chock having a locking member that extends outwardly from the base and is adapted to be received in the openings so that the chock can be located in a selected position on the tray; and wherein the keyholes and the locking member are a turn-key arrangement whereby the locking member engages a selected keyhole of the keyholes when the chock is positioned by an operator so that the locking member extends into the selected keyhole and the base is on the tray and the chock is then rotated 90° about an axis perpendicular to the tray to position the chock in the right orientation relative to the tray and to lock the locking member in the selected keyhole, with the tray supporting the chock in the selected position on the tray.
