Expandable Stowable Platform for Unloading Trucks

摘要

A stowable platform for side access doors of trailers for commercial trucks is provided. The platform is designed to compactly fit into a storage cavity built into the trailer. This cavity can be underneath the floor of the vehicle. The platform is designed to slide out from its storage cavity and be positioned against the vehicle to provide side access to the vehicle. After removal from storage, the platform can be expanded to a much more convenient size for loading or unloading of the vehicle.
