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 truck bumper dock extension with a flip step configurable for use on a truck body to provide a functional bumper and a dock extension for loading and unloading at an elevated truck-dock and with the flip step configurable for use on the truck body for loading and unloading at an un-elevated surface, such as for home delivery. A walking ramp and stowing compartment is secured by the flip step for secure transport and removable access to a walking ramp.

A vehicle floor structure includes a floor member that includes an opening that is open at an end corresponding to an entrance, the opening extending toward a vehicle cabin side, and a floor panel that is supported by the floor member to cover the opening and includes an open end at a position corresponding to the entrance. The floor panel is configured by sequentially arranging and integrating unit panels in a width direction with a direction parallel to the open end serving as a longitudinal direction of the unit panels.

A trailer having a deck and a flip-over ramp. The deck and one side of the flip-over ramp are convertible from a flat position to a position with cradles that are configured to hold one or more round hay bales. The deck may tilt, and side rails may cooperate to form the cradle region. The flip over ramp may also pivot about a horizontal axis to form a pathway from a ground surface to the deck. Side rails may pivot both about a horizontal axis, and about a vertical axis near the flip-over ramp to allow clearance when the ramp is deployed.

A ramp assembly to accommodate a wheel-chaired passenger to enter or exit a motorized vehicle includes a frame, a ramp movable relative to the frame, a drive block configured to move the ramp relative to the frame, a linkage arm having a first end pivotably coupled to the drive block, a linkage panel pivotably coupled to the linkage arm and a rear end of the ramp, and an upper roller pivotably coupled to the linkage panel for rotation about a pivot axis of the linkage panel to facilitate rotation of the ramp relative to the frame.

A control device of a vehicle is installed in a vehicle including: a body having a vehicle cabin and a floor panel constituting a floor of the vehicle cabin; a door opening-closing mechanism that drives a door mounted on the body to open and close; and a slope deploying mechanism that deploys a slope plate housed under the floor panel to the outside of the body. The control device coordinates the operation of the door opening-closing mechanism and the slope deploying mechanism. The control device opens the door by the door opening-closing mechanism after deploying the slope plate toward the outside of the body by the slope deploying mechanism.

A vehicle is equipped with a body that includes a floor panel, a door that is attached to a body, a door lock mechanism that includes an outer hook and an inner hook and that is attached to a lower portion of a door to lock the door on the floor panel, and a slope device attached to a lower side of the floor panel. Tip portions of the outer hook and the inner hook penetrate the floor panel downward outside a vehicle outer end of a slope with respect to the vehicle, and restrain the slope from being deployed outward of the vehicle, when the door is locked.

A control device is mounted on a vehicle including a door opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing a door of an entrance and exit where a passenger gets on and off, and a shift device for changing a driving range of a transmission. The driving range is input to the control device and the control device opens and closes the door by the door opening and closing mechanism. The control device permits opening of the door when the driving range is a parking range, and prohibits a change of the driving range of the shift device when the driving range is the parking range and the door is open.

A vehicle floor structure includes a floor member having an opening and a floor panel covering the opening. The floor panel is configured by sequentially arranging and integrating a plurality of kinds of unit panels in a lateral direction of the unit panels, the unit panels having rectangular shapes as viewed from above a vehicle. Two end sides of the floor panel extending along a direction in which the unit panels are arranged (x direction) and one side of at least one of two unit panels arranged at opposite ends of the floor panel are supported by support portions of a floor member. A unit panel of which the one side is supported by the support portion of the floor member has a lighter weight per unit area than other unit panels having lateral lengths equal to or greater than a lateral length of the unit panel.

An apparatus has: a livestock transport having a floor, walls, ground engaging members, and an access door opening; a ramp; and side panels that are pivotally connected to the walls of the livestock transport, in which the ramp and the side panels are configured to move between: a deployed position where the ramp extends from the access door opening and the side panels cooperate with the ramp to form a livestock loading chute; and a transport position where the ramp is stowed and the side panels are swung about to lie against the walls of the livestock transport. A kit has the ramp and side panels of the apparatus. A method of using the apparatus involves moving the ramp and side panels between the deployed position and the transport position to load, unload, and transport, respectively, livestock.
