A first panel is slidably positionable in a bed of a truck. In a first position the first panel is contained in the bed. In a second position the first panel extends outwardly from a rear end to support an object that is longer than the bed. A pair of sliding units is each slidably coupled to the first panel and each of the sliding units is fastened to the bed of the pickup. Each of the sliding units facilitates the first panel to be urged between the first position and the second position while retaining the first panel in the bed of the pickup. A second panel is hingedly coupled to the first panel the second panel is positionable to be oriented perpendicular to the first panel to inhibit the object from sliding off of the first panel.

A powered side panel system is used in conjunction with a loading bed found on trailers and other flatbed vehicles. The system includes a side panel having a vertical member. The side panel is configured to pivot about a panel axis in communication with the trailer. A lever arm extends between the side panel and an actuator. The actuator pivots the lever arm about a lever axis. The lever arm contacts the vertical member and controls the rate of radial motion of the side panel about the panel axis. A control unit is configured to regulate the operation of the actuator device.

A flatbed deck with corner castings connects to the intermodal equipment trailer chassis. Twist locks are retractable in upper corner castings to provide an absolutely flat deck to facilitate loading and unloading. Lower corner castings are connected to corner twist locks of a trailer chassis. Cargo is loaded and a rigid three-dimensional lid is lowered onto the flatbed deck. The rigid lid has corner castings that cooperate with twist locks at corners of the new flatbed deck. Lid corner castings are recessed in the lid. The lid seals to the deck to prevent moisture ingress. Corner castings extend slightly downward from the corners of the lid. Two or more short individual lids are secured separately to the new decks. Partial loads are individually covered and protected by the short lids which are seated and sealed to the deck by securing lid corner castings.

A safety rail system for a flatbed. The system is portable, installs and dismantles in minutes, and is adaptable to any flatbed trailer or truck having post mounting side pockets. The system collapses into a compact package for stowing and transport. The system utilizes existing post mounting side pockets to establish a fence line that supports one or more cable rails. The cable(s) of the cable rails are drawn taut to provide a firm barrier to protect equipment and personnel from falling off the edge of the flatbed.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body configured to store refuse, a cab coupled to the chassis, and a canopy assembly extending directly above the cab. The canopy assembly includes a main body fixedly coupled to the chassis and an adjustable panel movably coupled to the main body and selectively repositionable relative to the main body.

A freight vehicle on which a drone is docked, may include: a transfer device provided in the vehicle and configured to move up and down between an internal space of the vehicle and a roof to receive freight from the drone through the roof of the vehicle or transfer freight to the drone; and a loadspace separated, as a portion of the internal space of the vehicle, from a space where the transfer device is provided and including an open portion formed on a side or a rear of the vehicle, and onto which the freight is loaded.
