An apparatus and method for securing objects to a transportation trailer wall. The apparatus comprises an elongate rigid member extending between first and second ends and a first E-Track connector at the first end of the elongate rigid member. The apparatus further comprises a second E-Track connector at the second end of the elongate rigid member and a collar slidably moveable along the elongate rigid member having a lock adapted to selectably lock the collar at a desired location therealong. The method comprises securing the apparatus to the trailer wall, locating at least one object to be secured between the elongate rigid member and the trailer wall, slideably positioning a collar along the elongate rigid member to secure the at least one object and engaging a lock on the collar to fix the location of the collar.

A drainage system for a vehicle is disclosed herein. A drain is disposed within a vehicle substrate and has a floor. A receiver is disposed proximate to the floor. A cap feature is operably coupled to the drain and is operable between first and second positions relative to the drain. The cap feature includes an upper platform and a sidewall that extends generally downward from the upper platform. A cutout is defined by the cap feature and is configured to allow liquid to flow through the cap feature. An engagement feature is coupled to the cap feature and is operable between a disengaged position and an engaged position in which the engagement feature is engaged with the receiver. Movement of the cap feature from the first position to the second position moves the engagement feature from the disengaged position to the engaged position.

A storage compartment of a vehicle including a passenger compartment and a passenger compartment door controlling access to the passenger compartment. The storage compartment includes a base and a side wall surrounding a storage volume. The storage compartment is located forward of a footwell of the passenger compartment, the storage compartment is further positioned so that an opening to the storage volume is accessible from a lateral side of the vehicle.

System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to transporting an object into and out of a vehicle using an arm mounted to the vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a plurality of objects in an environment of the vehicle, and identifying at least one object for transportation. The method includes determining at least one attribute for the at least one object, and determining a transport plan of how to move the at least one object into the vehicle based on the determined at least one attribute. The method includes, based on the transport plan, controlling the arm to move from a retracted position inside the vehicle to an extended position outside the vehicle, to engage the at least one object, move from the extended position to the retracted position, and disengage the at least one object to move the at least one object into the vehicle.

A modular shelving unit includes a base plate that is planar in an expanded configuration. A first foldable wall is connected to a first side of the base plate. A second foldable wall is connected to a second side of the base plate. The first foldable wall has a first segment and a second segment, and the second foldable wall has a third segment and a fourth segment. The second and fourth segments are rotatable about a respective hinge to define an interior surface with its respective first or third segment when in the expanded configuration. Shelves extend from the interior surfaces in the expanded configuration. In the collapsed configuration, the second and fourth segments are rotated about their respective hinges out of planar with their respective first and third segments. Other embodiments of modular shelving units are described herein.

A vehicle rail system has a frame mountable to a vehicle, the frame having a plurality of support legs, the support legs interconnected via support beams. One or more fixed rails are mountable to the support frame, each fixed rail comprising a plurality of bearings thereon and configured to receive a sliding rail, the sliding rail having a plurality of grooves for receiving the bearings of the fixed rail so as to be slidable thereon. The bearings are located along regular intervals of the fixed rails on each non-mounted side. The sliding rail is then able to slide along the bearings of the fixed rail, extending to the exterior of the frame mounted in the vehicle.

A compact bendable cargo securement device for stabilizing unrestrained items in the bed or cargo area of a pick-up truck or storage area in a motorhome or recreational trailer is disclosed. It may also be used as a stabilizer doing woodwork and other jobs that require stability of the work platform. The device will conform to any surface and has the ability to wrap around objectsboth regular and irregular shapedand will hold them and keep them from shifting. As disclosed, the bendable cargo securement device is composed of a flexible tube loaded with filler material when used and deployed for securing objects. The flexible tube is preferably fabricated from rubber or any material allowing sufficient flexibility for the cargo securement device to wrap around items while having suitable strength to avoid puncture/destruction from deployment. Each end of the device requires a closure to contain the filler material.
