An assistance vehicle tilt lift supports an assistance vehicle above a bed of a hauling vehicle and includes one or more pivoting racks. Each pivoting rack includes a track to receive one or more wheels of the assistance vehicle. Each pivoting rack is rotatably attached to a pivot point near the front end of the bed of the hauling vehicle. One or more tapered rails are attached to the bed of the hauling vehicle. One or more roller support members are in contact with the one or more tapered rails and rotatably attached to the one or more pivoting racks. An actuator is operably connected to the one or more roller support members. The actuator raises and lowers the rear end of the one or more pivoting racks relative to the pivot point by moving the one or more roller support members along the one or more tapered rails.

A modular utility rack including a pair of opposing front top rails; a front cross member arranged between the pair of opposing front top rails and connected to each top rail of the pair of opposing front top rails; a second cross member arranged between the pair of opposing front top rails and connected to each top rail of the pair of opposing front top rails; a pair of opposing rear top rails; a rear cross member arranged between the pair of opposing rear top rails and connected to each top rail of the pair of opposing rear top rails; a pair of front legs; a pair of rear legs; and a pair of opposing bed rails, wherein each leg of the pair of front legs may be attached to a front top rail and to a bed rail and each leg of the pair of rear legs may be attached to a rear top rail and a bed rail.

A truck rack apparatus has a rack framework comprising two vertical posts at opposite sides of a bed of the truck proximate a cab of the truck, the posts extending to a height beyond a height of the cab of the truck, a top rail spanning between the two vertical posts near an upper extremity of the posts, mounted to rotate about a horizontal axis, and a substantially rectangular planar panel rigidly joined along one edge to the top rail, such that the planar panel is rotatable about the horizontal axis to assume a first position with the plane of the panel vertical, and the panel suspended from the top rail between the vertical posts, occluding a back portion of the cab of the truck, and a second position with the plane of the panel horizontal, projecting over the cab, serving as a cargo panel for carrying cargo.

A reconfigurable bed rack system and methods of manufacture and use that is dynamic, adaptable, lightweight, and easy to install are provided. The bed rack system may include a plurality of U-shaped modular telescoping support structures that allow for a height adjustment to the rack without uninstalling the rack from the truck bed. Through the telescoping feature of the U-shaped support structures, a height dimension of the bed rack system may be increased or decreased. One or more side and/or upper rails may extend between the plurality of U-shaped modular telescoping supports for attaching one or more mounting brackets to secure equipment, tools and/or supplies to the bed rack system. The rack system may also include a tire hoist bracket assembly including a hoisting system to store a spare tire against an upper, inner surface of the rack system.

A rack system that is configured to allow the omission of cross bars. The cross bars can be easily removable and replaceable or can be adjustable along a length of the rack system. In some configurations, the rack system includes at least one side support arrangement comprising a first vertical support and a second vertical support. Two or more side support arrangements can be provided on each side of the truck bed. Pairs of support arrangements on one side of the truck bed can be connected by one or more longitudinal supports. Accessories, such as tool boxes or gas cans, can be connected to the one or more longitudinal supports.

A quick-detach storage system with configurable compartments for a vehicle bed is provided. An example system has a rail member removably attached to the anchors or bracket by a single user from the tailgate location of the truck, without the user having to climb into the bed of the vehicle or reach over the bed. Once seated on anchors, the rail member is secured. Baskets and containers removably attach to the rail. A sliding member can extend past the tailgate of the vehicle bringing baskets out to the user. The sliding member can be motorized. Dual slide or roller rails provide weight bearing capacity for securely sliding a bicycle or motorcycle in and out of the vehicle without lifting. The baskets can be removed and are portable by hand. The entire system is lightweight can be removed quickly by a single user without climbing aboard the vehicle.

A mounting system for securing a container to a bed of a vehicle or other installation location includes a sidewall mounting bracket for mounting to a first sidewall of the bed. An arm body has a length dimension that is adjustable. A first joint pivotally attaches a first end of the arm body to the sidewall mounting bracket for pivotal movement relative to the first sidewall of the bed when the sidewall mounting bracket is mounted to the first sidewall of the bed. A second joint for attaching a second end of the arm body to the container.

A storage system is described where goods are stored in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit then at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit then at stations where goods may be picked out. The framework may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing, and data logging. A method of partitioning the storage system prevents the spread of fire or prevent damage caused by sprinkler activation.

A housing and trailer system comprising a trailer and a housing. The housing includes a lower housing and an upper housing and may be positioned on friction-reducing members that reduce friction between the housing and trailer. The reduction of friction facilitates the housing to slide more efficiently on the trailer. A safety lever and linkage system operates to safely move roof support structures and raise/lower the upper housing. An adjustable cargo system is attached to a roof on the housing. The adjustable cargo system is adjustable to receive and/or secure different sizes of cargo.

A railing assembly includes at least one ratcheting post and at least one connection post. The at least one ratcheting post includes at least one ratcheting assembly attached to the at least one ratcheting post for selectively engaging a strap and the at least one connecting post including at least one attachment point for engaging an attachment member on the strap.
