A semi-trailer for use in hauling grain has four sides and two sloped cargo areas, each having a hopper funnel made of a continuous, unitary polymer material. A door below each hopper is driven by a linear actuator that is disposed above the level of the door. The trailer sidewalls are made of a composite material having inner and outer panels attached to a center panel by adhesive.

A mobile store includes a frame supported by wheels and a body enclosure mounted on the frame. The body enclosure is formed of a front wall, a first longitudinal sidewall, a second longitudinal sidewall, a rear wall, and a roof. The body enclosure is divided into a working chamber and a storage-and-hygiene chamber by an interior wall having an interior door. The first longitudinal sidewall includes a first transaction window. The second longitudinal sidewall includes a second transaction window. The rear wall has a doorway with an entry door mounted with hinges to the rear wall to close the doorway. A first awning mounted with hinges to the first longitudinal sidewall closes the first transaction window. A second awning mounted with hinges to the second longitudinal sidewall closes the second transaction window. The mobile store unites the convenience of a convenience store with the flexibility of a food truck.

The present invention provides a tiering device for a freight compartment, which pertains to the technical field of logistic and transportation equipment. It solves the problem in the prior art that existing tiering devices for a freight compartment occupy a relatively large space inside the freight compartment. The tiering device for a freight compartment according to the present invention comprises: a sidewall of the freight compartment, a transmission part, and a vertical guide track; the transmission part lift/lower support members, the support members forms placement area for goods. Half of the transmission part is buried inside a belt guide channel on the vertical guide track, the other half is located inside the vertical guide track or is flush with the groove opening of the vertical guide track. The present invention occupies less space inside the freight compartment, thus facilitating loading/unloading goods to/from the freight compartment.

A livestock container has a plurality of levels and compartments formed by a plurality of convertible platforms and compartment gates. In some embodiments, the convertible platforms are bi-fold platforms hingedly mounted to sidewalls of the container and moveable between deployed and stored positions. When in the stored positions, the convertible platforms extend minimally from the sidewall, eliminating or reducing obstacles to movement of livestock or humans. The convertible platforms are configured to rest on upper edges of corresponding compartment gates below, and the container may be free of any central post, thereby eliminating obstacles caused thereby to movement of livestock or humans. The sidewalls and floor may be formed of hollow-core extruded aluminum panels, and longitudinal channels formed therein may house pipes or electrical wires for conducting water or electricity to ventilation fans, lights, or misters, or for storing water.

Provided is a mobile body system including a traveling unit having an autonomous traveling function and a trolley unit having a housing portion for loading an object. A detection unit detects an amount of objects placed on the housing portion. A control unit determines an operation of the traveling unit based on the amount of objects detected by the detection unit.

Systems and methods for delivering a requested payload using an autonomous delivery vehicle are described herein. In some embodiments, a cargo system for use with an autonomous delivery vehicle can include a frame defining a cargo space having an opening. A plurality of partitions can be positioned within the cargo space and configured to divide the cargo space into compartments. In some embodiments, the partitions are movable so that the cargo space can be divided into efficiently-sized compartments based on, for example, size characteristics of the payload. The cargo system can further include an access system configured to selectively define an aperture over the opening of the cargo space. The access system can vary the size and position of the aperture to provide access to only a selected one of the compartments regardless of the size and/or position of the selected compartment.

Loading, securing, transporting, and/or depositing objects as well as systems, methods, and apparatuses for the same, including those that operate in automated or semi-automated fashion, are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a mobile robotic platform is provided. The mobile robotic platform is designed to receive, transport, and deposit objects at desired destinations. In another embodiment, a flat transport surface, e.g., a pallet, is provided. The flat transport surface is designed to facilitate efficient loading, transport, and deposit of objects, e.g., between automated or semi-automated handling systems, in one aspect. In another embodiment, a system for handling objects is provided. The system is designed to support automated or semi-automated loading and/or unloading of objects, e.g., onto or from a mobile robotic platform, and may be implemented in a vehicle, in one aspect.

A breakaway system for use with a decking system may include a bracket that is configured to be capable of sliding along a track and a carrier that is releasably coupled to the bracket. The bracket and the carrier may be configured to be separated when an upward force is applied upon the bracket and not upon the carrier.

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.

A vehicle includes a vehicle frame, a vehicle body and elastic seal. The vehicle body is supported on the vehicle frame. The vehicle body has a cabin and a cargo box. The cabin houses one or more vehicle seats of the vehicle. The cabin and the cargo box are separately mounted on the vehicle frame and being separated by a gap. The elastic seal movably connects the cabin and the cargo box and covers the gap.
