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.

The present disclosure relates to an autonomous traveling vehicle having a loading space for loading a package and/or a user. The autonomous traveling vehicle includes: a partition apparatus for performing switching between a partitioned state where the loading space is partitioned into a plurality of spaces separated from each other and a communicating state where the loading space forms one continuous space; and a control unit that controls the partition apparatus such that the loading space is brought into the communicating state when only any one of the package and the user is loaded in the loading space and the loading space is brought into the partitioned state when both of the package and the user are loaded in the loading space.

A deployable storage system is provided for a truck. That deployable storage system includes a truck bed wall and a storage cabinet that is integrated into the truck bed wall. The storage cabinet is configured to be displaceable between a stowed position held within the truck bed wall and a deployed position extending above the truck bed wall.

A compact bendable cargo securement device for stabilizing unrestrained items in the bed or cargo area of a pick-up truck or storage area in a motorhome or recreational trailer is disclosed. It may also be used as a stabilizer doing woodwork and other jobs that require stability of the work platform. The device will conform to any surface and has the ability to wrap around objects—both regular and irregular shaped—and will hold them and keep them from shifting. As disclosed, the bendable cargo securement device is composed of a flexible tube loaded with filler material when used and deployed for securing objects. The flexible tube is preferably fabricated from rubber or any material allowing sufficient flexibility for the cargo securement device to wrap around items while having suitable strength to avoid puncture/destruction from deployment. Each end of the device requires a closure to contain the filler material.

The application relates to carriage of goods by public roads. A freight handling apparatus includes a frame having a coupling mechanism for coupling to a motor vehicle, a container-carrying deck, a wheel suspension, an outer body in the form of a rectangular freight container, the inner space of the outer body being divided in horizontal direction by a plate to accommodate in the lower freight compartment a reusable tank with necessary control and measurement equipment, filling and drain fittings. The freight handling apparatus simplifies and secures its transportation on roads as much as possible by lowering the center of gravity and arrangement of the center of gravity of the tank close to the axis of the vehicle carrying the apparatus, facilitates maintenance and inspection of the tank without removing it from the frame, and makes easier loading and unloading of goods.

Mobile training labs for training gas technicians are disclosed. The mobile training labs can include a towable trailer comprising a body having a plurality of walls at least partially defining a hollow interior, an axle having at least two wheels disposed thereon to support the body, and a tow hitch. The mobile training labs can also include at least one training bay connected to the towable trailer such that the at least one training bay is configured to be accessed from an exterior of the towable trailer. The at least one training bay can include a work bench and a mock service entrance that is representative of a commercial or residential gas service entrance.

A goods-transport vehicle comprises a carriage (2) and a goods rack (3) arranged in the carriage (2), the goods rack (3) is provided with a plurality of storage spaces (34) used for storing goods (1). The goods-transport vehicle further comprises a fixing mechanism (4) and a picking mechanism (5). The fixing mechanism (4) is arranged in each storage space (34). After the goods (1) are placed in the corresponding storage space (34), the fixing mechanism (4) is used to automatically fix the goods (1) relative to the storage space (34). The picking mechanism (5) is arranged in the carriage (2), and is used to automatically place the goods (1) in each storage space (34) and to automatically take the goods from each storage space (34).

In an illustrative embodiment, a panel assembly for partitioning a trailer cargo space is provided including a first insulated panel and a second insulated panel, each insulated panel including a first side vertical edge having a connecting edge, and a second side vertical edge having a connecting edge. One of the insulated panels includes one or more spaced apart vertical cut lines proximate the first side vertical edge, where, when a given cut line is cleaved, the cleaved cut line is configured to form a new second side vertical edge having a connecting edge. A first mating extrusion may secure with a second side vertical edge of the first insulated panel, and a second mating extrusion may secure with a first side vertical edge of the second insulated panel where, upon mating the first and second mating extrusions, an insulated wall is formed.

In one embodiment, a truck trailer has a cargo container that defines a cargo area therein. The trailer has a rear cargo lift having a platform disposed within the cargo area at a rear end of the trailer. The platform is vertically movable between a floor of the trailer and a first elevation that is above the floor. The trailer has an upper cargo deck supported within a portion of the cargo area that is between the rear lift and a front end of the trailer. The upper cargo deck divides the portion of the cargo area into upper and lower areas. The upper cargo deck can align with the rear cargo lift at the first elevation so as to receive cargo into the upper area, and translate the cargo to a second elevation that is above the first elevation so as to receive cargo in the lower area.
