Patent ID: 8006935

Claim:
A method of moving cargo along a cargo area of a mobile vehicle, comprising: positioning a plurality of four independent load supporting slide units within a plurality of tracks supported in a support surface associated with said mobile vehicle, the four independent load supporting slide units being spaced apart to form first and second pairs for supporting four corners of a load supporting structure thereon; lowering a leading edge pair of corners of the load supporting structure upon which said cargo is positioned on to said first pair of slide units; after the leading edge pair of corners is resting on said first pair of slide units, then moving said load supporting structure at least partially into said cargo area until a trailing edge pair of corners of the load supporting structure is positioned over said plurality of tracks; aligning the second pair of slide units under the trailing edge pair of corners; lowering the trailing edge pair of corners onto said second pair of slide units; using said first and second pairs of slide units to slidably move said load supporting structure along and above said tracks so that said cargo is positioned entirely within said cargo area of said mobile vehicle; and locking the first pair of slide units to said leading edge pair of corners and locking said second pair of slide units to said trailing edge pair of corners, through the use of manually engageable locking structure associated with each one of said first pair of slide units and each one of said second pair of slide units.
