Abstract
A device that when installed in a vehicle's cargo area, features a latching sliding deck surface that can be extended beyond the interior of said vehicle, providing an area that can be used as a workspace and/or allowing materials to be placed and retrieved safely on the deck surface. Once materials are placed, the deck slides back into the vehicle for safe transportation. The sliding deck surface is fitted to a basic frame and supported by rollable bearings. The basic frame is secured to the vehicle through the use of devices that are installed in the vehicle first and then latched into brackets mounted along the side of the frame channel members.
