Abstract
A motor vehicle cargo loading floor has a plurality of parallel slats extending longitudinally from a rear access opening. The slats, which normally serve as cargo skids, have their aft ends hinged to the floor about a common transverse axis adjacent the access opening. The forward ends of the slats are secured by a transverse cross-rail with support means adjacent each end of the rail. The hinged slats and cross-rail define a rack which may be pivoted upwardly and secured in a canted position by the support means free ends being secured to either side of the access opening. The canted rack defines a plurality of cargo receiving spaces which, upon the access door being closed, maintains cargo placed in the rack spaces in an upright manner during operation of the vehicle.
