Benefits of technology
[0008] The present invention solves these and other problems by providing systems for securing recreational vehicles to a transport vehicle quickly with a positive engagement mechanism. The systems are also designed to be quickly installed in the transport vehicle without causing any permanent damage to the transport vehicle. The systems may also be quickly changed out to allow other types of recreational vehicles to be transported as well.
[0013] The present invention in a preferred embodiment provides a positive engagement locking system for motorcycles and other vehicles. This allows the motorcycle to be securely locked without damaging the shock absorbers.
Problems solved by technology
Normally, these transport vehicles are not particularly designed for securely transporting the recreational vehicles.
It is difficult to find adequate securing points on both the recreational vehicle and the transport vehicle.
Also, these ropes and straps may loosen and cause the recreational vehicle to become insecure in the transport vehicle.
Unfortunately, these systems are usually permanently mounted to the transport vehicle which may interfere with other uses of the transport vehicle.
The prior systems fail to provide a positive engagement mechanism that safely secures the recreational vehicle in the transport vehicle.
The prior systems are not able to be quickly and easily removed from the transport vehicle without causing damage to the transport vehicle.
The prior systems do not allow the recreational vehicle to be locked safely in the transport vehicle.
Also the prior systems do not allow quick changes to the system for other types of vehicles to be secured in the system.
This creates pressure within the shock absorber systems that causes seals to degrade and leak.

Embodiment Construction
[0035] The present invention provides systems for securely transporting recreational vehicles in the cargo bed of a transport vehicle. Preferred embodiments of the present invention is discussed below with particular relevance to motorcycles, snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles. It is to be expressly understood that this descriptive embodiment is provided for explanatory purposes only and is not meant to limit the scope of the claimed invention. Other types and uses of such systems are also considered to be within the scope of the present invention. For example, the system of the present invention may be used for wheelchairs, mobility systems, bicycles, for golf carts, small tractors, personal watercraft and other types of vehicles.
[0036] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1-16. This system 10 includes base platform 20 shown in FIG. 1. Base platform 20 includes parallel members 22, 24 that extend just less than the width of most pick-up beds. I...

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the field of systems for securing and transporting equipment in the cargo bed of a transport vehicle. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Personal recreational vehicles, such as motorcycles, snowmobiles and all terrain vehicles have become increasingly popular in recent years. These vehicles are typically transported to a remote site for use via a transport vehicle, such as pick-ups, trucks, trailers, and other types of vehicles. Normally, these transport vehicles are not particularly designed for securely transporting the recreational vehicles. The recreational vehicles must be secured in place on the transport vehicle. The available systems for securing the recreational vehicle range from simple ropes and straps to complex support systems that are permanently mounted on the bed of the transport vehicle. [0003] The use of ropes and straps require extensive rigging to ensure that the recreational vehicle is secure in the transpo...
