Abstract

The platform assembly provides a platform deck that manually deploys between raised and lowered positions and ensures a specific order of operation when moving the deck between the raised and lowered positions. The platform assembly includes a deck, which rides on a roller disposed within upright slide rails mounted to opposed interior walls of the trailer, vehicle or structure. The deck is supported by a horizontal side member in the lowered position and a support bracket and two sets of piston props in the raised position. The platform assembly uses a pair of stop pins that ride within a vertical channel in the upright slide rails and seat within notches formed in the rail channels.
