  • Patent number: 6378708
    Abstract: An adjustable frame for carrying vehicles between elongate upright sides includes, on each side, a forward end and a rearward end, each end including an upper and lower rail section joined by elongate brace members, where the respective ends are separated from one another and a length-adjusting insert is carried between such ends to selectively permit adjustment of the position of the forward end relative to the rearward end while maintaining the ends in end-to-end alignment. On each side of the frame, preferably at least one of the upper rail sections has an end portion defining an open-ended hollow tube extending lengthwise of that side within which an elongate arm of the length-adjusting insert is slidably moveable so that structures on the outside surfaces of the rail sections will not interfere with length adjustment.

  • Patent number: 6223913
    Abstract: A shelving system designed to fit within the confines of a transport vehicle and including side wall sections forming a vertical and horizontal framework. The vertical sections contain a series of bolt holes for bolting through of both angle shaped and pocket shaped supports. The bolt holes provide for incremental vertical adjustment of the position of both of these types of supports. The pocket shaped supports are used to support telescopically adjustable load support bars. The angle shaped supports are used to support planking that functions as a shelf for merchandise in the vehicle.
