  • Double deck truck trailer with movable upper deck
    Patent number: 11186214
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a truck trailer has a cargo container that defines a cargo area therein. The trailer has a rear cargo lift having a platform disposed within the cargo area at a rear end of the trailer. The platform is vertically movable between a floor of the trailer and a first elevation that is above the floor. The trailer has an upper cargo deck supported within a portion of the cargo area that is between the rear lift and a front end of the trailer. The upper cargo deck divides the portion of the cargo area into upper and lower areas. The upper cargo deck can align with the rear cargo lift at the first elevation so as to receive cargo into the upper area, and translate the cargo to a second elevation that is above the first elevation so as to receive cargo in the lower area.
