A utility trailer with a movable bed floor includes a trailer frame supported by a plurality of wheel assemblies. A bed panel is coupled with the trailer frame and defines an upper support surface. A live-bed flexible member spans the length and width of the upper support surface. A load chain is coupled between forward and rearward ends of the live-bed flexible member and span the length of the bed panel below the bed panel. A drive system is supported by the trailer frame. The drive system has a sprocket engaged with the load chain and is operable to drive the live-bed flexible member in forward and rearward directions over the upper support surface for loading and unloading items from the utility trailer.

An autonomous package transfer system comprises a locker assembly including a storage compartment located at a destination. The locker assembly includes a locker door that is moveable between an open position and a closed position. An organizing mechanism is located in the storage compartment and includes a plurality of baskets that are moveable into alignment with the locker door via a drive unit. An autonomous vehicle delivery system includes at least one locker assembly located at a first destination and an autonomous vehicle. The locker assembly includes at least one storage compartment, the storage compartment including a door and a lock to selectively prevent access to the storage compartment. The autonomous vehicle comprises a chassis assembly and a storage assembly.

A mobile cross-dock includes a drop-frame trailer including: a first deck having a first height above the ground; a second deck having a second height above the ground that is greater than the first height, the second deck being located in a front portion of the trailer above a coupler assembly; side doors arranged on at least one longitudinal side wall of the drop-frame trailer; a back door on a back-end of the drop-frame trailer; a nose door on a front-wall of the drop-frame trailer; and a conveyor mounted longitudinally within the drop-frame trailer and extending from the back door towards the nose door.

A trailer for lifting and positioning at least one reel thereon. The trailer includes a pair of articulated arms comprising a first elongate member and a second elongate member pivotally mounted to the first elongate member. The first elongate members are generally horizontal and movable relative to the trailer between a retracted position and a rearwardly extended position. The second elongate members are pivotable between a horizontal position in parallel alignment with the first elongate members and an upright position wherein the second elongate members are orthogonal to the first elongate members. The second elongate members are provided with respective jacks to stabilise them with respect to the ground surface. A hoist to lift the reel from the support surface to an effective height greater than an effective height of a deck of the trailer is disposed between the second elongate members.

A bedslide assembly is provided. The bedslide assembly includes one or more of a movable deck frame assembly, a latching assembly, a longitudinally extending rod, and a latch. The latching assembly may be attached to the deck frame assembly. The latching assembly may include a plate that is pivotally coupled about an axis to the deck frame assembly. The longitudinally extending rod may be coupled to the plate at a location that is spaced apart from the axis such that movement of the grip moves the longitudinally extending rod which pivots the plate about the axis. The plate includes a latch arm. Movement of the longitudinally extending rod in a first direction pivots the plate which moves the latch arm in order to abut and move the latch.
