ABSTRACT:
A support system for a flexible side wall for cargo carrying vehicles that allows greater access to the cargo area of the vehicle. A slidable door is attached to the flexible side wall which is supported by vertical support poles and the door and wall can be slid along the vehicle for access to the open side of the cargo vehicle. The slidable door is narrow to maximize the access and is supported by a separate track and roller assembly. The door may be supported by the roller assembly being positioned either at the roof or floor area of the cargo vehicle. The roller assembly has wheels at a predetermined spacing larger than the door width to accommodate any pushing force couple produced by the operator pushing or pulling on the door for opening and closing same. The vertical support poles are aligned by pilot blocks that have an interlocking feature which interconnect with the adjacent pilot blocks and align the flexible sidewall when it is being compacted.
