Abstract: Portable modular training systems are described herein. In one aspect, a modular training system includes a system container including a container front, a container rear, a container first side, a container second side, a container bottom, and a container top, defining a container cavity, and an exercise structure comprising a platform connector with a vertical support bar coupled to an interior surface of the system container and a horizontal bar coupled to the vertical support bar and extending external to the system container via an aperture defined by the system container.

Abstract: An improved captive beam decking system is disclosed for use in a cargo trailer. The system includes a beam assembly and a foot assembly that is selectively engagable to a vertical sliding track system. The sliding track system is attached to the sidewall of a trailer vertically. The beam can be easily moved at different heights that are selected based upon the configuration of the cargo trailer.

Abstract: A motor vehicle having an assembly for loading sheet material includes a cargo area having a loading opening and a bulkhead located at an opposite end of the cargo area from the loading opening. Also included is a passenger compartment located at a forward region of the vehicle. Further included is at least one fixed end stop located proximate a rear area of the cargo area. Yet further included is at least one load assist strip, where a first end of the strip is mounted to the bulkhead, wherein the strip extends rearward to a second end of the strip that is mounted to the end stop.

Abstract: A multi-functional cargo area assembly for a cargo bed of a vehicle includes a first and a second side wall disposed in a transversely spaced relationship, and an integrally formed guide track in the first and second side walls. The cargo area assembly also includes extendible side wall portions. The cargo area assembly further includes a movable divider panel supported with the guide track by a support rod, and extending transversely between the first and second side walls, wherein the divider panel includes a positioning mechanism for fixedly locating the divider panel.

Abstract: A load restraining device having a securement apparatus for a railway boxcar including a restraining member with a top section. The device includes a first pin and a second pin being positioned adjacent to the top section. The device includes a securing member having a first end positioned adjacent to the first pin and a second end positioned adjacent to the second pin. The securing member prevents the inadvertent removal of the pins from the device.

Abstract: The present invention is an article carrier assembly for mounting on an exterior surface of a motor vehicle. The article carrier comprise a pair of elongated side rails constructed and arranged to be mounted on an exterior surface of the motor vehicle. The side rails extend generally parallel to one another in a spaced apart relation. Each of the side rails has a longitudinally extending deformable gripping structure. An elongated adjustable cross rail assembly is constructed and arranged to be mounted transversely between and releasably lockable along the side rails in an infinite range of operating positions. The cross rail assembly has rail locking structures mounted on opposite ends thereof for selectively engaging the gripping structure.

Abstract: A railcar load divider support carriage having a load divider support beam, a pair of roller support bars fixedly attached to opposing ends of the load divider support beam, the ends of the roller support bars extending horizontally from the sidewalls of the load divider support beam, and a pair of rollers rotatably mounted at the ends of each of the roller support bars, the roller carriage providing for rolling motion of a railcar load divider door along roller tracks affixed to the interior of a railcar, the roller tracks engaging with and supporting the rollers.

Abstract: The invention consists of a panel having an area that is substantially the same dimension as the tail gate on a pickup truck cargo body. The panel is suspended from a track mounted on the body side rails, and through a wheel assembly rides the length of the truck bed. Cut out areas allow the panel to move past the wheel wells and doors attached to the panel are adapted to close off the cut out areas when not obstructed by the wheel wells. Locking bolts on each side engage slots in the side rails and slots in a floor mounted track. A single handle on each side controls the movement of the vertical and horizontal locking bolts.

Abstract: A device for use in securing cargo in a stationary position on the bed of a truck or similar vehicle is disclosed. The device includes a movable partition having spring biased locking pins on the outer ends thereof which may be releasably secured in any of a series of holes spaced at intervals along a railing attached to either side of the length of the truck bed. Upon operation of a handle mechanism located in the central upper portion of the partition, the locking pins may be unlocked, allowing the partition to be moved on caster wheels mounted for movement along the interior length of the railings until the desired position is reached at which point the handle is released, causing the pins to lock into the adjacent openings in the railing.
