A truck bed height extension assembly for a pickup truck includes a truck bed and a pair of side panels. The truck bed includes a floor and a pair of spaced apart sidewalls. Each of the pair of spaced apart sidewalls includes an exterior wall, an opposite interior wall, and an elongated cavity positioned between the exterior wall and the interior wall of each of the pair of sidewalls. The pair of side panels are linearly displaceable in a vehicle vertical direction between a retracted position and an extended position. In the retracted position, each of the pair of side panels are positioned within the elongated cavity defined in each of the pair of sidewalls. In the extended position, each of the pair of side panels are positioned to extended at least partially outside of the elongated cavity of each of the pair of sidewalls.

A telescoping truck bed shell is disclosed herein. The truck bed shell is capable of being retracted so that the user can have full access to the truck bed and also extended so that the user can have a protected volume at the truck bed in order to store things. The telescoping truck bed has traversable frames and a traversable cover wherein the frames and cover may be traversed between extended and retracted positions depending on whether the truck bed shell is being deployed or stored.

The present disclosure relates to a trailer adapted to support/receive various types of loading equipment. The trailer comprises a chassis having a main frame adapted to be coupled to a motorized vehicle at its main frame front end, a wheel assembly for supporting the main frame, and a guiding structure pivotably mounted on the main frame at its main frame rear end and adapted to pivot between a substantially horizontal transport position and a tilted loading and unloading position. The trailer further comprises a support structure for fixedly supporting the loading equipment having a supporting frame, a translation means mounted on the supporting frame for supporting the supporting frame, and a complementary guiding structure extending from the lower surface of the supporting frame for slidably engaging with the guiding structure of the chassis. Therefore, when the guiding structure is in its tilted loading and unloading position, the loading equipment, fixed on the support structure, may be loaded on or unloaded from the chassis by longitudinally sliding the complementary guiding structure relatively to the guiding structure.

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 vehicle includes: a driver seat connected to a frame of the vehicle and disposed in a cockpit area; a dashboard disposed in front of the driver seat; a cargo bed supported by the frame and having a front wall, left and right walls and a cargo bed supporting surface surrounded in part by the front, left and right walls, the front wall having a movable portion that is movable to selectively cover a pass-through opening that communicates an internal space of the cargo bed to the cockpit area; and an extension receptacle disposed in the cockpit area, the extension receptacle being aligned with (i) the dashboard in a longitudinal direction and (ii) the pass-through opening in a lateral direction, the extension receptacle being configured to receive items therein that are inserted from the cargo bed through the pass-through opening and into the cockpit area of the vehicle.

An adjustable bedslide assembly is provided. The adjustable bedslide assembly sets onto a cargo box of a pickup truck and is extendable and retractable relative to the cargo box. The adjustable bedslide assembly includes a deck assembly and a frame assembly. The frame assembly is composed of a first frame section and a second frame section. The first frame section is configured to attach to the cargo box while the second frame section attaches to the deck assembly. The first deck portion is engageable with the second deck portion so the deck assembly is adjustably sizable to fit within the dimensions of the cargo box.
