- a lower straight profile (10) with an “M” shaped cross section having a double iron angle, wherein a horizontal leg of a lower iron angle (101) is orthogonally joined to a vertical leg of an upper iron angle (102), and the lower straight profile (10) is adequately fastened over an upper leg (2) of a side wall of utility vehicle bed (3) by the upper iron angle (102) whereas the lower iron angle (101) includes “U” shaped slits (11) set apart from each other;
- an upper straight iron angle (6″), adequately fastened under the base of the truck top or equipment, which has slits (8) on a vertical wall thereof to engage hooks (9) that are positioned within the slits (8);
- a mechanism for securing the truck top or equipment which comprises a longitudinal shaft (12) equipped with bearings (13) located under the lower iron angle (101) of the lower straight profile (10), which rotates a fraction of a turn by the action of a gear box (14) operated by a lever (15), causing rings (16) that are coupled with eccentrics (17), with the eccentrics (17) positioned along the longitudinal shaft (12), with ring (16) to travel along the slits (11) on the lower straight profile (10) and couple with the hooks (9) positioned on the upper iron angle (6″).
