Abstract
A pull out drawer system for vehicles and trailers includes a stationary mounting frame having a set of rails parallel with one another, which has a first set of rollers mounted thereon, the rails adapted for receiving a second set of rollers; a movable frame having the second set of rollers mounted thereon; and a load-bearing surface mounted to the movable frame—the movable frame and load-bearing surface subcombination mounted to the stationary mounting frame with rolling contact both between the first set of rollers and the movable frame and load-bearing surface subcombination and between the set of rails and the second set of rollers. The system or another pull out drawer system may be ramped so as to be higher on the pull out end than on the opposing end. An over the wheel well pull out tray for a pickup truck includes a generally planarly laid out bottom member; at least one upraised side wall extending from the bottom member; and, extending outwardly from said at least one side wall, a wing member. The over the wheel well pull out tray may be mounted with a pull out drawer system. The load bearing surface, which may be a tray, can include a generally planarly laid out bottom member having a plurality of major areas, at least one of which has a series of ribs with a longitudinal and a latitudinal component. The pull out drawer system can be mounted in combination with a vehicle or trailer, with the system mounted to a suitable surface of the vehicle or trailer.
