Abstract
A vehicle is provided which has a rack assembly located in the vehicle. The rack includes a rail, a shelf movable along the rail between extended and retracted positions, and a track located adjacent the rail. The track includes a plurality of stop positions, each located at periodically spaced apart locations along the track. The shelf is selectively securable at a plurality of intermediate positions between the extended and retracted positions. The periodically spaced apart locations of the plurality of stop positions along the track are the intermediate positions that the shelf is selectively securable at. The shelf includes a stop member selectively engageable with the each stop position of the plurality of stop positions. When the stop member engages one stop position of the plurality of stop positions, the shelf is secured at one intermediate position of the plurality of intermediate positions between the extended and retracted positions.
