PICKUP BED RAMP AND RAIL ASSEMBLY

Systems and methods for loading and transporting all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and utility terrain vehicles (UTV). In examples, a vehicle, which may include but is not limited to a pickup, car/truck with a flatbed, or other vehicle such as a van having a cargo space, may provide for loading and transporting an ATV or a UTV. A rail assembly may be used to load an ATV/UTV and place the ATV/UTV into the space of the pickup truck bed. In further accordance with examples, the rail assembly may include a plurality of ramps configured to accommodate one or more wheels or tires of the ATV/UTV.

Ramp system for vehicle with extendable cargo bed

A cargo bed system of a vehicle includes a bed floor assembly of a cargo bed. The bed floor assembly is configured to transition back-and-forth between a standard bed position and an extended bed position. A ramp assembly moves together with the bed floor assembly back-and-forth between the standard bed position and the extended bed position. The ramp assembly is configured to move back-and-forth between a stowed position and a deployed position.

A flatbed trailer assembly for defining ramps on a trailer includes a flatbed trailer that has a deck and a perimeter wall surrounding the deck to retain objects on the deck while transporting the objects. The perimeter wall has a pair of removable sections that is each removably attached to the deck. Each of the removable sections is positionable in a ramp orientation having the removable sections angling downwardly from the deck. In this way the pair of removable sections defines a pair of ramps. Thus, a wheeled vehicle may be driven onto the flatbed trailer on each of the ramps.

METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING COMPARTMENT INSERTS WITH INTERFACE ARRANGEMENTS IN AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY VEHICLES

According to one aspect, a compartment on a vehicle such as an autonomous or semi-autonomous delivery vehicle may be provided with an interface arrangement configured to facilitate the coupling and uncoupling of compartment inserts. The interface arrangement may include mechanical, electrical, and data transmission features. Mechanical features of an interface arrangement may be configured to physically secure or hold a compartment insert in a desired position and/or orientation within a compartment, while electrical features may be configured to enable power to be provided to the compartment insert. Data transmission features may be configured to enable monitoring and control of features of the compartment insert. Different types of compartment inserts may be configured to mate with an interface arrangement, e.g., a substantially universal interface arrangement which effectively provides for interoperability of different compartment inserts, in a compartment of a vehicle.
