Abstract

A powered sliding platform assembly is disclosed which may include an actuator, a platform, and a controller. The platform may have a rail defining first and second openings configured to receive a pin of an actuator. The actuator and the rail may be arranged such that while the platform moves between extended and retracted positions, the pin rides along the rail between the openings. The controller may be programmed to, in response to a signal indicative of an object being proximate the platform, inhibit movement of the platform.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a powered sliding truck bed assembly. Background technique [0002] Pickup trucks are provided with a compartment capable of holding and storing tools and equipment. Removing and reloading tools and equipment from the cabin can be time consuming and cumbersome. Sliding platforms may be provided in the compartment area to assist the operator in accessing items stored within the compartment. A manually operated sliding platform may be useful to assist in the loading and unloading of items stored in the compartment. Manually operated sliding platforms can be difficult to operate when the sliding platform is heavily loaded or the pickup is on a slope or incline. Contents of the invention [0003] A platform assembly may include a platform, an actuator, a track, and a controller. The platform is slidably engageable with rails provided on the car. The actuator has a pin biased toward the extended position. A track is...
