Breakaway system for captive beam system

A breakaway system for use with a decking system, comprising:

• a bracket that is configured to be capable of sliding along a track;
• and
• a carrier that is releasably coupled to the bracket,
• wherein the bracket and the carrier are configured to be separated when an upward force is applied upon the bracket and not upon the carrier.

A remotely adjustable decking system, comprising:

• first and second vertical tracks that are configured to be installed upon opposing walls of cargo compartment, the first and second vertical tracks each comprise a plurality of apertures disposed spacingly therealong;
• first and second brackets that each slide along the respective first and second tracks;
• first and second carriers that each are releasably coupled to the respective first and second brackets, and wherein the first and second carriers slide within the respective first and second tracks;
• at least one motor that is disposed in conjunction with the respective first and second tracks, wherein the at least one motor is operatively engaged with the respective first and second carriers through a drive system that is urged to move by the at least one motor, wherein operation of the at least one motor in a first direction causes the respective carrier and the respective bracket, when the respective bracket is coupled to the respective carrier, to slide upwardly along the respective track, and operation of the at least one motor in an opposite second direction causes the respective carrier and the respective bracket, when the respective bracket is coupled to the respective carrier, to slide downwardly along the respective track;
• and
• a controller with user input capability, wherein the controller selectively controls the operation of the at least one motor to selectively raise or lower a vertical position of one or both of the first and second carriers upon the respective first and second tracks in response to an input received from an input device,
• further comprising an elongate decking beam disposed between and fixed to the first and second brackets,
• wherein the first and second brackets each comprise a first sidewall and the first and second carriers each comprise a second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall of each bracket faces and is aligned with the second sidewall of the respective carrier when the respective carrier is coupled to the respective bracket,
• wherein the first sidewall of each bracket comprises a first aligner and the second sidewall comprises a second aligner, and wherein the first and second aligners are configured to be releasably coupled through an alignment force between each first aligner and the respective second aligner such that each bracket is coupled to and aligned with the respective carrier,
• wherein when the elongate decking beam is fixed with respect to the first and second tracks and when an upward force that is stronger than the alignment force between the respective first and second aligners is applied to one or both of the first and second brackets, one or both of the first and second brackets each disengage from the respective first and second carriers such that the elongate decking beam is separated from the respective first and second carriers and is free to move upwardly along the respective first and second tracks without corresponding upward motion of the respective first and second carriers along the respective first and second tracks.
