A truck bed is divided into a plurality of bays, each bay being defined by a pair of dividers. In each bay is a pallet. A latching mechanism assembly is attached to a bottom rail of each pallet and comprises a bolt which is spring-loaded outwardly, through the keeper hole in an adjacent divider. A triangular link is rotatably mounted at a fixed pivot point in the assembly. The bolt is coupled to a second point on the link. An actuator is movable substantially vertically and is attached to a third point on the link. When the fork of a lift truck engages the actuator and raises it, the link is caused to rotate about the fixed pivot point, to withdraw the bolt and thereby unlatch the latching mechanism.
