A mobile fall protection unit can be maneuvered by hand and brought to a flatbed with readily deployable, temporary fences for worker fall protection. The mobile fall protection unit can include a chassis, which carries a frame, which in turn carries a ladder as well as selectively deployable fall protection devices for worker fall protection. The frame carries a pair of retractable fall barriers separated from each other by about the width of the back of the flatbed.

A mounting system for a step of a vehicle. A step portion having a connecting flange. A load bearing adapter connected to the connecting flange via a lost motion connecting assembly for allowing substantially rigid connection when the step portion has a normal stepping load and allows tilting of the step when an obstacle is encountered which provides a load on the step in an upward direction. Wherein an upward force on the step portion allows upward movement of the step and returning it to the step position.

A working vehicle, including: a driving unit into which a worker gets to perform driving, the driving unit being provided to a vehicle-body; a step on which the worker steps when getting in or out of the vehicle, the step being provided at an outer side of a floor of the driving unit with respect to a left-and-right direction of the vehicle-body; a fuel tank provided below the floor so as to be adjacent to the step; and a fuel tank supporting bracket which supports the fuel tank from below, wherein the step has an upper side step part, and a lower side step part, the upper side step part is attached to the floor, and the lower side step part is attached to the fuel tank supporting bracket.

A portable ladder having a pair of elongate stiles spaced from one another and each having first and second ends, and extending in a first direction; and a plurality of rungs each extending between the elongate stiles transverse to the first direction and having opposed ends one of each attached to each of the elongate stiles and each of the plurality of rungs being spaced from one another along the first direction, the rungs being arcuate in shape between the opposed ends.

A vehicle rock slider having a removable cover and methods of using the same. The rock slider may be attachable to a rocker panel of the vehicle along a length of the rocker panel such that an edge of the rock slider extends below a rocker flange extending downward from a bottom of the rocker panel. The rock slider may have a cover removably attachable onto the rock slider. The cover may be shaped and sized to conceal the rock slider when the rock slider is not in use.

The invention relates to a subassembly for a vehicle, the subassembly comprising a chassis (50) assembly and a front body module (10). The front body module (10) is attachable to a forward portion of the chassis (50) assembly. The front body module includes a side portion (20) which extends outwardly beyond the chassis in a transverse direction. A stay (40) is provided which extends transversely outwardly from the chassis assembly (50) to support the side portion. One of the front body module (10) or the stay (40) is provided with a connecting member (30) which extends in a substantially longitudinal direction. The other of the stay (40) or front body module is provided with a corresponding longitudinally aligned aperture (42) for receiving the connecting member in use to support the side portion (20) of the front body module (10). A method of assembly is also disclosed.

A vehicle includes a cargo box including at least one side wall. A tailgate is coupled to the box and operable between open and closed positions. A light assembly is positioned in a vehicle rear portion of the at least one side wall. A box light is configured to emit light into the box and a puddle lamp is configured to emit light in a vehicle rearward direction.

A hitch-mountable, collapsible stair assembly is disclosed for use in assisting mounting into a raised vehicle bed. The steps rotate between a generally vertical stowed position and a generally horizontal in-use position. The height of the steps above the ground is adjustable. The lower step can also be extended for ease of use.

A lighted assembly includes a perforated member having a plurality of relatively small openings therethrough. The openings are arranged to provide areas forming letters, designs, or the like. A light source may be positioned adjacent the perforated member whereby light from the light source travels through the openings to form illuminated letters, designs or the like. The perforations may be filled with a light-transmitting polymer material. The light source may comprise an LED and a light guide that distributes light along a lower side of the perforated member. The light source may be positioned in a waterproof housing that is sealed to the perforated member.
