ABSTRACT:
A storage rack assembly is adapted to be clamped between the two horizontally-spaced longitudinally-extending I-beams of a flat bed trailer, comprising a pair of tray-like end sections each including a pair of parallel horizontally-spaced side walls, a plurality of transverse members that are connected between the side walls to define a lower first storage chamber, and an upper rack device defining a second storage device connected between the upper edges of the side walls at a first end of the end section, the end sections being collinearly arranged with their other ends adjacent each other and connected together on opposite sides of a transverse divider wall. The storage rack assembly is arranged transversely beneath the trailer flat bed with the upper storage chambers adjacent the sides of the flat bed, respectively, upper clamping members being provided that straddle the upper flange surfaces of the I-beams and are clamped to lower clamping members that are secured to the upper edges of the side walls of the storage rack assembly and that extend beneath the I-beams. The dimensions of the upper and lower storage chambers are such as to receive the stake and plywood panel components, respectively, of a conventional side kit associated with the flat bed trailer. A transverse vertical door member is pivotally connected at each end of the storage rack assembly for opening and closing the associated upper and lower storage chambers.
