Abstract
A tire lift/carrier unit is mounted on a vehicle body and has a depending cable connected by a latch device to a fitting which supports the hub of a spare tire and wheel assembly. When the tire assembly is elevated by the unit to a stored position, the latch device is received within a holder also secured to the vehicle body. In event the cable fails to hold the spare tire assembly in the stored position, latch bolts spring outwardly from the latch device and engage the holder to prevent dropping of the tire assembly. The holder may be formed of adjustable or telescopic sections which may be tubular for enclosing the latch device.
