Patent ID: 7338239

Claim:
A method for using panels in a cargo space of a trailer, comprising: arranging first and second panels in a cargo space of a trailer to a first operative position so that the first and second panels are positioned laterally to one another in the cargo space, each of the first and second panels extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the trailer, and each of the first and second panels being coupled to a mounting system that is attached to at least one of a wall or a ceiling of the cargo space; releasably securing the first and second panels together in a side-by-side configuration when the first and second panels are arranged in the first operative position so that the first and second panels form a full-width bulkhead panel in the cargo space; releasing the first and second panels from the secured, side-by-side configuration; and independently moving the first panel relative to the second panel in the cargo space, the first panel having a first degree of freedom to be moved independently from the second panel in a longitudinal direction, and the first panel having a second degree of freedom to be raised independently from the second panel.
