A selectively lockable box may have a locking structure that may have a first bar, a second bar and a lock housing. The first and second bar engage with one another, and the lock, to lock the box. The first bar may be horizontally oriented to lock a box lid, and the second bar may be a vertically oriented to lock other access areas of the box.

Selectively lockable box and method of use

One embodiment of a ladder rack system and method of use are described. The system may have a ladder rack frame with an inner rail and an outer rail. The system may also have a ladder rack bed that is selectively moveable with respect to the ladder rack frame. The ladder rack bed may have an inner beam and an outer beam. The system may also have a driveshaft and at least one driveline arm that are connected together. The driveline arm is also connected to the ladder rack bed.

Rear loading, drop down ladder rack system and method of use

One embodiment of a storage cabinet for use in a vehicle is described. The cabinet may have two side panels, a rear panel transverse to the side panels and a selectively openable top. A drawer is selectively located within the cabinet. A locking mechanism selectively locks the drawer within the cabinet. The locking mechanism has a solenoid and a solenoid plunger, and a locking flange. The plunger is selectively located within the locking flange to lock the drawer within the cabinet.

Storage cabinet for use in a vehicle

Road and curb partition bracket assembly comprise front and rear clamp brackets and a channel mounting bracket. Each partition bracket is drawn together by a bolt across a respective vehicle B-pillar for mounting a partition across an interior of a vehicle. The mounting of the partition bracket assembly with the partition attached is accomplished without disturbing an exterior or an interior of the B-pillars, or any contents therein on either side of the vehicle.

Partition bracket assembly

A partition for a vehicle is described. The partition separates the cargo area of the vehicle from the cab area of the vehicle. The partition may extend from floor to roof and from one side of the vehicle to the other side of the vehicle. The partition has a window so that the driver can see into the cargo portion. The window is positioned to ensure the driver can see through it in a variety of conditions.

Vehicle partition

A positionable vehicle partition system includes at least two rails, a substantially planar partition for separating a vehicle area into at least two sections, a slide assembly to facilitate movement of the partition relative to the rails, and a latch for retaining the partition in a selected position relative to the rails. The rails are configured to be mountable in a spaced apart parallel relationship. The slide assembly includes at least a stationary slide member affixed to or defined by each of the rails, and at least one movable slide member extending away from and directly or indirectly affixed to the partition.

Adjustable partition

A ladder rack for supporting a ladder in a stowage position and for moving the ladder between the stowage position and a loading/unloading position at which the ladder can be loaded onto the rack or unloaded from the rack. The ladder rack includes a frame assembly which is mounted on a support structure such as a vehicle roof and a bed platform having opposite ends that are coupled to the frame assembly for sliding and hinged movement with respect to the frame assembly. At least one of the ends of the bed platform is configured to be extendible when pivoted downward into a loading or unloading position.

Ladder rack system

An adjustable modular shelving system is secureable to a rail mounting system in the cargo area of a vehicle. The shelving system includes a pair of end panels, each pair having an end panel flange with a plurality of end panel flange apertures. The end panel flange extends along a portion of an outer periphery of each of the pair of end panels. The shelving system may include a shelf having a base and a pair of shelf flanges which extend from longitudinal end portions of the base, one of the pair of shelf flanges includes a plurality of locking mechanisms and another one of the pair of shelf flanges include a plurality of shelf apertures. The locking mechanisms may securably connect with a first side of the pair of end panels, and the plurality of shelf apertures may securably connect with a second side of the pair of end panels.

Adjustable modular shelving system

In one embodiment, the present disclosure is a modular construction of at least one partition panel combined with a structural footer rail, at least one close out wing, at least one header panel, optional gaskets to provide sound deadening between the cargo side and the cab side of the vehicle interior, and a structural reinforcing hoop to provide rigidity to the partition structure and create a 'box' structure to the partition.

Vehicle interior partition

A ladder rack includes: a frame assembly mountable on a vehicle, the frame assembly having at least two cross bows each including a principal length extending between opposite first and second ends; a pivot bracket pivotally coupled to the first ends of each cross bow, each pivot bracket adapted to support one side rail of a ladder, and each pivot bracket being pivotally moveable between a first position corresponding to the stowage position and a second position corresponding to the loading/unloading position; a stationary bracket disposed on each cross bow intermediate the first and second ends thereof, each stationary bracket adapted to abut another side rail of a ladder in the stowage position; a torsion bar interconnecting the pivot brackets; and a manually operable handle coupled to one of the torsion bar or a pivot bracket for moving the pivot brackets between the stowage position and the loading/unloading position.

Modular storage units that can be assembled without additional fasteners or tools and then coupled together with or without optional shelves into an overall storage system using a common twist-lock fastener. The modular storage units are assembled from top, bottom and side panels. The top and bottom panels for each modular storage unit are structurally identical as are the side panels. Modular storage units having different widths have commonly sized and structurally identical side panels. Storage systems that are built up from the modular storage units can be easily assembled in work vehicles and other close quarters or tight spaces. The modular storage units can include plurality of trays or other articles for storing various parts, articles, etc.

Modular storage units

A flow through article storage device that includes a housing into which a plurality of stacks of articles can be positioned. The housing has a bottom and a front and rear end. A plurality of elongate abutment elements are coupled to the housing and configured for independent movement between a first position in which the elongate abutment elements extend at least partially into the interior of the housing and a second position in which the elongate abutment members do not extend into the interior of the housing. At least one track of rollers is provided on the bottom or an inclined support surface of the housing. Stacks of articles that are loaded into the rear end of the housing are subsequently removed from the front end. The elongate abutment elements can be selectively moved between the first and second positions to control movement of the stacks of articles along the inclined bottom.

Flow through article storage device

A ladder rack for supporting a ladder in a stowage position and for moving the ladder between the stowage position and a loading/unloading position at which the ladder can be loaded onto the rack or unloaded from the rack. The ladder rack includes: a frame assembly which is mounted on a support structure such as a vehicle roof; a bed platform having a first end that is pivotally coupled to the frame assembly at a fixed position and a second end that is coupled to the frame assembly for alternative sliding and hinged movement with respect to the frame assembly; and a manually operative sliding mechanism and a manually operative pivoting mechanism for moving the bed platform between the stowage position and the loading/unloading position.
