A platform assembly for a cargo zone of a vehicle includes a platform including one or more platform panels, and a platform hinge operably connected to a platform panel of the platform and secured to a body of the vehicle. The platform hinge is configured to move the platform between a stowed position inside the cargo zone to a deployed position at least partially outside of the cargo zone via rotation about a hinge axis of the platform hinge.

A cargo management system includes a cargo anchor including a body extending between first and second ends and defining a hook profile along a first plane perpendicular to an axis extending between the first and second ends and a closed loop profile along a second plane parallel to the axis. The system further includes a substrate having an attachment feature with a first portion coupleable with the anchor profile and a second portion coupleable with the loop profile

A cargo management system for a vehicle includes a first pair, a second pair, and a third pair of anchors. The first and second pairs of anchors are positioned adjacent each other and the third pair of anchors is positioned remote from the first pair. The system further includes a flexible substrate having a first pair of attachment features coupleable with the first pair of anchors and a second pair of attachment features selectively coupleable with the second pair or third pair of anchors.

A system is provided for carrying, receiving and unloading loads and goods for motor vehicles and to a vehicle in which the system is installed. The system allows a maximally variable and simultaneously ideal cuboidal loading area by combining a foldable loading area on the lower face of the vehicle with a rail system, which is positioned on the vehicle lower base in order to receive a wide variety of transport goods and carrier systems and a level-regulating function. Thus, a reduction of the environmental impact of the motor vehicle equipped with the system according to the invention can be combined with a versatile use, whether as a car-sharing concept or private or logistical applications, and excellent loading ergonomics. Additionally, the rail system, the folding mechanism and the transported goods to be conveyed are weatherproofed.

A powered sliding platform assembly may include an actuator, a platform, and a controller. The platform may have a rail defining first and second openings configured to receive a pin of an actuator. The actuator and the rail may be arranged such that while the platform moves between extended and retracted positions, the pin rides along the rail between the openings. The controller may be programmed to, in response to a signal indicative of an object being proximate the platform, inhibit movement of the platform.

An automobile having a cargo space, a rear door opening for accessing the cargo space and a door pillar which delimits the rear door opening. The vehicle has a rack which in a stowed state is arranged entirely in the cargo space and is at least partially concealed by the door pillar as viewed from outside the automobile in the direction of the vehicle longitudinal axis of the automobile, and in a deployed state is arranged at least partially outside the cargo space. The vehicle has a transfer mechanism to transfer the rack between the stowed state and the deployed state via the rear door opening, wherein the transfer mechanism is configured such that, during a transfer of the rack from the stowed state into the deployed state, the rack moves inward in the direction of the vehicle transverse axis of the automobile.

An extendable truck bed that includes a first side panel, wherein the first side panel includes a telescoping side panel. The telescoping side panel extends vertically from the first side panel. The extendable truck bed also includes a second side panel, wherein the second side panel includes a telescoping side panel. Likewise, the second telescoping side panel extends vertically from the second side panel. The extendable truck bed also includes a telescoping extension within the bed, where said telescoping extension works in conjunction with the telescoping side panels.

A vehicle includes a load floor in a cargo area and a first engagement member and a second engagement member disposed within the cargo area. The first engagement member is spaced apart from the second engagement member. A cart has a base, a first side slidably engaging the first engagement member and a second side slidable engaging the second engagement member. The cart comprises legs retractably extending from the base and wheels coupled to the legs.

The present invention is a system and method for providing a low profile sliding tray that only uses two screws to mount two low profile rear sliding assemblies, the sliding tray including rear rollers that slide on existing raised corrugated structures in the truck bed, and two guide rollers that rest in and abut against walls of channels between the raised corrugated structures, wherein the rear sliding assemblies include rollers disposed in the C-channels on either side of the sliding tray, and wherein the sliding tray is only raised the height of the rear rollers above the bed.

Disclosed herein are devices relating to a modular truck bed organizer. The contemplated truck bed organizer may have one or more cargo receptacles capable of easily sliding to provide easier access and greater stability for items placed in the truck bed. The design does not require significant adaptations to be made to the truck bed for installation and minimizes its own size in order to maximize the available cargo area.
