The base can be releasably mountable upon a load bar of a carrying vehicle. The elongate support arm can be anchored to a hub having an axle rotatably coupled to the base. The base can comprise a keyway assembly that releasably receives a mating key assembly on the axle. A biasing member interposed longitudinally between the axle and the base configured to bias the at least one support arm toward a locked position. The at least one support arm is unidirectionally axially displaced relative to the base between the locked position and an unlocked position.
