A vehicle flooring system configured to enable movement of cargo within a vehicle. The flooring system is made up of individual flooring panels connected via a snap fit type connection. In one embodiment, the flooring panels define one or more openings/slots configured to receive and secure one or more rollers. The rollers are configured to enable slidable movement of cargo within the vehicle. In another embodiment, the flooring panels include one or more lightweight panels and one or more reinforced panels. In one example, the reinforced panels are metal, such as extruded aluminum. In another example, the lightweight panels are a polymeric material, such as extruded plastic. The flooring system is further configured to satisfy government regulations concerning pull testing.

A vehicle includes: a vehicle cabin having a flat floor surface and being configured such that a user can embark; an entrance through which the user can embark and can disembark; a ramp that, at the entrance, extends from the floor surface toward a vehicle exterior; and a turntable that is provided at the floor surface and configured to enable directional change.

A load restraint fastener for use with a plurality of load restraint attachments is described. The load restraint fastener includes a body. The body includes a substantially planar portion having a front face and an opposite rear face. The substantially planar portion defines an opening and includes a first receiving portion having a receiving surface. The first receiving portion also defines a first portion of the opening. The substantially planar portion includes, in addition, a second receiving portion having a receiving surface. The second receiving portion is spaced apart from the first receiving portion and symmetric with the first receiving portion about at least one axis of symmetry. The second receiving portion defines a second portion of the opening. The body also includes a projecting portion having a receiving surface. The projecting portion extends outwardly from the rear face of the substantially planar portion.

A configurable common deck system includes a support frame, and a plurality of decking planks. The support frame is configured to attach to the original equipment (“OE”) chassis of a vehicle. The plurality of decking planks is configured to cover the support frame to create a deck. Wherein, the deck has a customizable size with a length, a width and a height.

A vehicle flooring system for converting regular vehicles into wheelchair accessible vehicles. The flooring system is made up of individual flooring panels connected via a snap fit type tongue and lip connection. Each individual panel contains an integral track. The integral track forms a positive lock with the track channels. The flooring system is able to satisfy government regulations concerning seat and wheelchair location pull testing.

Below is a clean version of the Abstract, as requested to be amended herein: A cargo vehicle is disclosed having a composite floor assembly with at least one embedded hardpoint connector. The composite floor assembly may comprise a plurality of transverse beams and at least a portion of the composite floor includes at least one embedded hardpoint connector. The embedded connector may be used to securely and removably couple other vehicle components to the composite floor assembly, such as a landing gear assembly and/or a slide rail assembly.

An exemplary approach for protecting floorings in containers may utilize a first ledger attached to an upper portion of a first support beam associated with a foundational base assembly. A portion of the first ledger may protrude outward in a first horizontal direction from the upper portion of the first support beam. A second ledger may be attached to an upper portion of a second support beam next to the first support beam. A portion of the second ledger may protrude outward in a second horizontal direction from the upper portion of the second support beam. The second horizontal direction may face the first horizontal direction. A support panel may be placed on top of the portion of the first ledger and the portion of the second ledger. The support panel may have a length proximate to a distance between the first support beam and the second support beam.

A modular utility vehicle construct that is light weight yet robust is provided. The construct is formed with a composite open area core sandwich structure capable of withstanding typical wear and tear and environmental elements experienced by utility vehicle compartments. The use of the composite sandwich structure allows for replacement of traditional materials such as steel or aluminum, without a loss of strength, in a vehicle's containment construct while also reducing the overall weight of the vehicle and increasing the ability to customize the vehicle's utility features to suit the specific needs of the purchaser.

A composite wood floor board assembled adjacent to another composite wood floor board, each the board comprising: a top layer of laminated hardwood comprising: a top side; a bottom side; a first lateral side; and a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, wherein at least one of the first and second lateral sides is formed without shiplap lips; and a bottom layer comprising a planar fiber-reinforced polymer composite that is bonded to the bottom side of the top layer of the laminated hardwood and reinforces the top layer, wherein the bottom layer of fiber-reinforced polymer composite extends laterally outwardly by a distance up to two inches (2″) from the first lateral side of the top layer, and wherein a part of the bottom layer of the composite wood floor board is bonded to the top layer with a first adhesive and a part of the bottom layer is bonded with a second adhesive or sealant.

A thermally insulated floor for a trailer includes a layer of parallel support beams. Each support beam is oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to a forward direction of the trailer. A substantially planar panel of thermally insulating material is disposed on and supported by the layer of parallel support beams. A substantially planar layer of extruded aluminum is disposed on and supported by the panel of thermally insulating material. The support beams, the panel of thermally insulating material, and the layer of extruded aluminum are secured together.
