Movable platforms for vehicle capture assemblies and related devices, assemblies, systems, and methods

A movable platform for use with a vehicle capture assembly of a capture vehicle, the movable platform comprising:

• a first floor configured to be coupled proximate the capture vehicle;
• a second floor configured to be coupled with a probe assembly of the vehicle capture assembly;
• at least one set of legs extending between the first floor and the second floor, the at least one set of legs being rotationally coupled to at least one of the first floor or the second floor and configured to rotate relative to the at least one of the first floor or the second floor, wherein rotation of the at least one set of legs relative to the at least one of the first floor or the second floor enables the movable platform to move from an initial position to a displaced position as the first floor moves relative to the second floor in a lateral direction;
• and
• a floating stop configured to rotate when the at least one set of legs rotate in one rotational direction relative to the at least one of the first floor or the second floor.

A movable platform for use with a vehicle capture assembly of a capture vehicle, the movable platform comprising:

• a first lateral section configured to be coupled with a portion of the capture vehicle;
• a second lateral section configured to be coupled with a probe assembly including one or more retention elements for engaging with and securing a target vehicle;
• legs extending between the first lateral section and the second lateral section, the legs being rotationally coupled to at least one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section and configured to rotate relative to the at least one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section, wherein rotation of the legs relative to the at least one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section enables the movable platform to move from an initial position to a displaced position as the second lateral section translates relative to the first lateral section, the legs exhibiting a nested configuration where a first set of the legs longitudinally overlaps with a second set of the legs;
• and
• a floating stop configured to rotate when the legs rotate in one rotational direction relative to the at least one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section.

• and
• a biasing mechanism configured to bias the movable platform in the initial position. wherein the biasing mechanism comprises a floating stop, the floating stop configured to rotate against a biasing force of the biasing mechanism when the legs rotate in one rotational direction relative to the at least one of the first lateral section or the second lateral section.

A movable platform for use with a vehicle capture assembly of a capture vehicle, the movable platform comprising:

• a first floor configured to be coupled with a portion of the vehicle capture assembly proximate the capture vehicle;
• a second floor configured to be coupled with a probe assembly of the vehicle capture assembly;
• and
• at least one intermediate floor between the first floor and the second floor, the first floor coupled to the at least one intermediate floor on a first side of the at least one intermediate floor with a first set of legs, the second floor coupled to the at least one intermediate floor on a second side of the at least one intermediate floor with a second set of legs, wherein the first side of the at least one intermediate floor is positioned distal to the first floor and relatively closer to the second floor, and wherein the second side of the at least one intermediate floor is positioned distal to the second floor and relatively closer to the first floor;
• wherein rotation of the first set of legs or the second set of legs enables the movable platform to move from an initial position to a displaced position as the first floor translates laterally relative to the second floor in a direction transverse to a longitudinal axis of the movable platform.
