A vehicle-mounted reconfigurable storage tray removably installed between two fixed storage cabinet walls in either a tray position or a shelf position. The storage tray includes right and left side panels and a bottom panel that has a tray surface on one side and a shelf surface on the other side. Mounting mechanisms are attached to each side panel, allowing the storage tray to be removably mounted on the inner walls of a storage cabinet.

A passenger vehicle has a framework reconstructed from a vehicle chassis that is original manufacturing equipment. The vehicle includes an internal support structure comprising a central support section between a forward support section and a rearward support section. The central support section is closer to ground that the forward and rearward support sections. A front wheel assembly near the front of the vehicle extends across and is supported by the forward support section, and a rear wheel assembly near the rear of the vehicle extends across and is supported by the rearward support section. A passenger compartment framework is elevated above the central support structure, and a baggage compartment framework is beneath the passenger compartment framework. The baggage compartment framework includes a baggage opening in each opposed side of the vehicle, thereby providing access to an unobstructed storage zone that enables baggage to be placed in the storage zone from one side of the vehicle through one baggage opening and removed from the storage zone from the other side of the vehicle through the other baggage opening.

A shelving system for a motor vehicle has at least one shelf, which includes a base unit with a base element supported in a base position allocated to the base element on a support element and is mounted on a pivoting axis. The base element can be shifted around the axis out of the base position allocated to it into an access position allocated to the base element, in which the base element is raised by the at least one support element. A further base element is supported in a base position allocated to the further base element on the support element and is mounted on a further pivoting axis arranged on the side of the support element opposite the first pivoting axis. The further base element can be shifted into an access position, in which the further base element is raised by the support element.

The present invention is a device and method for preventing cargo in the cargo area of a vehicle from shifting forward in an accident, the vehicle having a horizontally hinged rear door.

A pickup truck includes a box side inner panel, a box side outer panel, a first compartment defined between the box side inner panel and the box side outer panel and a battery cooling pack held in the first compartment. A storage space customization feature may also be provided in the first compartment.

A motor vehicle multi-function mounting apparatus is disclosed comprising a support pedestal and a two part quick release mounting assembly for selectively attaching one of a selection of differing objects to an upper end of the support pedestal.

A firefighting or rescue apparatus includes a cab and a body having a storage unit configured to store a self-contained breathing apparatus, contaminated by harmful chemicals at an emergency scene, in the body rather than in the cab where occupants ride, so the occupants are not exposed to the harmful chemicals, which might be hazardous, toxic, carcinogenic or otherwise deleterious to health. The storage unit can include a storage wall mounted on upper and lower telescoping rail systems, and can be selectively movable relative to a compartment opening from a storage mode, where the storage wall is disposed in a compartment to a retrieval mode, where the storage wall extends beyond the opening so a user can access air tank supports to store a self-contained breathing apparatus. Related methods of storing a contaminated apparatus in the storage unit, distal from the cab and occupants thereof, are also provided.
