  • Patent number: 8388287
    Abstract: An adjustable cargo support system comprising: at least one pair of spaced apart tracks that are generally vertically oriented proximate at least one wall of a transport vehicle; at least one support cross member with two ends and an intermediate portion therebetween; and a means for adjusting a height of the support cross member, which includes one actuator device that is generally located between the support cross member ends, so that a user adjust the height of the support cross member at a central location, thereby allowing the support cross member to be moved generally vertically without the user alternatingly having to move one end of the support cross member and then the other end of the support cross member.

  • Patent number: 6688475
    Abstract: System and apparatus for determining a relationship between transportable or storable materials and plural transportation or storage modes for the materials. In a transportation system, placard rules that correlate placards, materials, and transportation or storage modes are pre-stored in a computer memory. Materials data is entered corresponding to a first predetermined material, as well as data corresponding to a predetermined transportation mode or a predetermined storage mode. One of the plurality of predetermined placards is selected in response to the materials data, the transportation or storage data, and the placard rules data. The transportable or storable material may be a hazardous material, and the placard rules therefore correspond to safety rules. In an apparatus aspect, an arrangement selects one of a plurality of placards.
