Commercial Vehicle Storage Loading Aid Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The high position of storage compartments in commercial vehicles, such as trucks and buses, makes loading and unloading more difficult due to the elevated storage compartment flap.
Innovation Solution
A loading aid with a movable cargo container using kinematics, including telescopic rails and pivoting mechanisms, allows the cargo container to be positioned outside the storage compartment for easier access, and a stacking mechanism for multiple containers, along with anti-jamming and end position safety devices, facilitates loading and unloading.

1Ease of operation
If a loading aid with movable cargo container is added, then loading and unloading is facilitated, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The storage compartment construction is segmented into distinct functional modules: the storage compartment itself, the storage compartment flap, the loading aid, the cargo container, telescopic rails, and pivoting mechanism. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies maintenance while providing the complex functionality needed for easy loading and unloading
