What Customers Are Saying

The adjustable ratcheting cargo bar is generally well-received for its ease of use and sturdy construction, effectively securing light to medium-weight items in the truck bed. The ratcheting mechanism is praised for tightly holding the bar in place. However, some users note the bar may not be suitable for heavier loads, as it can flex or pop off under sudden stops or impacts. The release mechanism is also reported as tricky or difficult to operate by a few reviewers. Overall, the cargo bar performs well for its intended purpose of keeping lighter cargo from sliding around, but has limitations in terms of maximum weight capacity.

Cargo bat

Would Recommend

Great tool for a truck owner. It keeps things from shifting. I use at within 18 “ of end of truck bed and find evything within reach when tailgate is put down.

I use this in my enclosed trailer to separate the hand tools from my materials. Purchased two and both work just fine.

Good cargo handler

Would Recommend

After figuring out how to extend and retract the bar, having no instructions, it turned out to be very effective at securing loads in my truck.

Very handy

Would Recommend

I have a van and it really helps organize the back. It’s very sturdy, and easy to use. You can hang stuff off it and lean stuff against it and nothing moves. Doesn’t leave any marks either. I’m going to get a couple more!

Adjustable load bar

Would Recommend

Bough this to keep loads from shifting and sliding forward in my work van. Set at half the hieght of you load, to low and the load will fall over the bar. I found half the height is perfect. Really liking the load bar.

Cargo bar

Would Recommend

It works great for what I need it for. I would not use it to hold back heave items, but that’s common sense. It is as explained in description. I am satisfied with it.

A rating depends on your expectations. This is not strong enough to hold something that is heavy and has a chance to slide and impact the bar. You have to push to load firmly against the front of the bed and put the bar right against it but it is still not strong enough or should be expected to hold a sudden shift. Based on my expectations I rate it a 5 because it does what I use it for. Wish it was a little heavier duty in the structure and ratchet but for th price it works well.
