Adjustable Truck Compartment System

An example adjustable truck compartment is described. The truck compartment includes a first side wall including a first guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end, and a second side wall disposed opposite from the first side wall, the second side wall including a second guiding rail extending between a proximal end and a distal end of the second side wall. The truck compartment includes a rear wall coupled to the distal ends of the first and second side walls to define an enclosure between the first side wall, the second side wall, and the rear wall. The truck compartment includes a first divider panel configured to be received by the first and second guiding rails and within the enclosure in an orientation parallel to a floor of the enclosure to separate the enclosure into a first enclosure volume and a second enclosure volume.

Transformable cargo containers

Transformable cargo containers for use with ground and air transportation vehicles are presented herein. A cargo container includes a main container body defining a storage chamber. The cargo container also includes a transformable assembly coupled to the main container body and positioned at an exterior of the main container body. The transformable assembly includes one or more supplemental containers and is movable between an aircraft configuration and a ground configuration. Based on the transformable assembly being in the aircraft configuration, the transformable cargo container has a non-rectangular cross-sectional area and is configured to occupy a partially-circular cross-sectional storage area of a fuselage of an aircraft. And based on the transformable assembly being in the ground configuration, the transformable cargo container is configured to occupy a rectangular cross-sectional storage area on a ground transportation vehicle.

Expandable-Volume Liner for a Collapsible Liquid Holding Tank
20180208393 · 2018-07-26 ·

An expandable-volume liner is usable with a collapsible liquid holding tank frame consisting of top and bottom rails spaced apart by vertical struts. The expandable-volume liner has pliant impervious side walls, a pliant impervious floor panel and at least one pliant impervious collapsible bag extending outwardly from the liner. Each bag is optionally extendable between its respective surrounding top and bottom rails and adjacent struts to conform the tank to the differing footprints presented by various sites and the volume of liquid necessary to accomplish the task at hand. The liners are especially suited to firefighting applications and can be used in conjunction with existing frames built for non-expandable volume liners.
