Abstract:
An apparatus for separating cargo areas in a refrigerated trailer, comprising:first and second panels, each panel extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the trailer, the panels abutting one another along adjacent peripheral edges of the panels when in a first operative position; a first mounting mechanism adapted to hingedly and slideably engage the first panel such that the first panel can be rotated about a lateral axis and slid in a longitudinal direction, at least a part of said first mounting mechanism being fixedly attached to at least one of a wall or a ceiling of a cargo space; and a second mounting mechanism adapted to hingedly and slideably engage the second panel such that the second panel can be rotated about a lateral axis and slid in the longitudinal direction, at least a part of said second mounting mechanism being fixedly attached to at least one of a wall or a ceiling of the cargo space; whereby the panels can be hingedly raised independently and the first and second mounting mechanisms can be moved independently in the longitudinal direction.
