Slide and cantilever ramp system

A storage system for a vehicle, comprising:

• a ramp member comprising an upper ramp surface and a lower ramp surface, the upper ramp surface comprising a retention feature, a first channel, and a second channel, the lower ramp surface comprising a guide member;
• a platform comprising an upper platform surface and a lower platform surface, the upper platform surface comprising a guide rail, a tray, and a support assembly disposed within the tray, the support assembly comprising a support member rotatably coupled to the platform via a hinged connection;
• a drive assembly coupled to the platform;
• and
• a container comprising a body, a plurality of wheels coupled to the body, and at least one lockdown rail coupled to an underside of the body;
• wherein the drive assembly is actuatable to move the ramp member relative to the platform and the support member acts on the lower ramp surface to raise the ramp member from a first loading position to a second loading position.

An automotive vehicle, comprising:

• a chassis;
• a storage system coupled to the chassis, the storage system comprising
• a ramp member comprising an upper ramp surface and a lower ramp surface, the upper ramp surface comprising an engagement member, a first channel, and a second channel, the lower ramp surface comprising a guide member and a drive fork attachment member;
• a platform comprising an upper platform surface and a lower platform surface, the upper platform surface comprising a guide rail and a support assembly disposed within a tray, the support assembly comprising a support member rotatably coupled to the platform via a hinged connection, wherein the support member acts on the lower ramp surface to raise the ramp member from a first loading position to a second loading position;
• a drive assembly coupled to the platform, the drive assembly comprising a rotatable screw and a drive fork coupled to the screw;
• and
• a container comprising a body, a plurality of wheels coupled to the body, a first lockdown rail coupled to an underside of the body, and a second lockdown rail spaced apart from the first lockdown rail and coupled to an underside of the body;
• wherein the engagement member engages with the second lockdown rail and the drive fork attachment member of the ramp member engages with the drive fork of the drive assembly such that actuation of the screw of the drive assembly moves the ramp member relative to the platform.
