A storage structure configured to be mounted to a vehicle. In one embodiment, the storage structure comprises a frame having a pair of side panels, a top panel, a bottom panel and a wall panel attached to the side, top and bottom panels so as to define an interior region of the frame, at least one tool securing device attached to the wall panel wherein the tool securing member is configured to allow tools to be removably secured thereto, and at least one door panel movably attached to the frame. The door panel is movable to a closed position so as to prevent access to the interior region and to an opened position to allow access to the interior region. The door panel is configured to allow viewing of substantially the entire interior region when the door panel is in the closed position. The storage structure further includes a device for attaching the storage structure to a vehicle.

The device of claim 1 wherein said rollers are forced toward each other by force of a spring. 10. The device of claim 1 wherein said drive means is an electrically powered actuator. 11. The device of claim 1 wherein said drive means is an air-powered actuator. 12. The device of claim 1 wherein said first and second rollers are of cylindrical shape. 13. The device of claim 1 wherein said rollers are covered by rubber. 14. The device of claim 1 wherein said rollers are knurled. 15. The device of claim 1 wherein said object with said deformable surface is a sack that contains an interior object. 16. The device of claim 1, further comprising a controller which controls said device three operational phases: grab, hold, and release. 17. The device of claim 1, further comprising a proximity signal generating element that generates a proximity signal when the device is in close proximity of an object. 18. The device of claim 17, wherein said proximity signal generating element is a proximity switch, which issues said proximity signal when the device is close to the object. 19. The device of claim 17, wherein said proximity signal generating element is an electromechanical switch, which issues said proximity signal when said electromechanical switch contacts the object. 20. The device of claim 17, further comprising: a holding signal generating element that generates a holding signal when sufficient portion of said deformable surface of said object is collected between said rollers; and a releasing signal generating element that generates a releasing signal to release said object, wherein said drive means turns said rollers inwardly in response to said proximity signal when said holding signal generating element has not generated any holding signal and said releasing signal generating element has not enerated any releasing signal. 21. The device of claim 1, further comprising a holding signal generating element that generates a holding signal when sufficient portion of said deformable surface of the object is collected between said rollers. 22. The device of claim 21, wherein said holding signal generating element is an electromechanical switch. 23. The device of claim 22, where said deformable surface of the object collected between said rollers causes said electromechanical switch to issue said holding signal. 24. The device of claim 1, further comprising a releasing signal generating element that generates a releasing signal to release said object. 25. The device of claim 24, wherein said releasing signal generating element is a momentary switch pressed by an operator. 26. The device of claim 24, wherein said releasing signal generating element generates a releasing signal to release said object based on a command from a computer. 27. The device of claim 24, wherein a releasing means causes said deformable surface of said object to pass out of said inter-roller region causing said object to be released in response to said releasing signal. 28. The device of claim 24 further comprising a holding signal generating element that generates a holding signal when sufficient portion of said deformable surface of said object is collected between said rollers, wherein if said holding signal generating element generates a holding signal, as long as said releasing signal generating element has not generated any releasing signal, said holding means is engaged. 29. A device mountable on a transport mechanism for contacting, grasping and holding an object having a deformable surface, comprising: a mounting bracket mountable to said transport mechanism; a first and a second holding brackets, movable relative to each other and held by said mounting bracket wherein said first holding bracket is fixedly attached to said mounting bracket and said second holding bracket is pivotably attached to said mounting bracket and moves relative to said first holding bracket
