Deck panel for cargo carrying vehicle

In combination:

• a) a cargo carrying vehicle having a storage space bounded by a floor surface and peripheral wall surface and a plurality of elongate load beams including first and second elongate load beams with lengths that extend in substantially parallel relationship;
• and
• b) a first deck panel operatively engaged with the first and second load beams and comprising a body with oppositely facing upper and lower surfaces,
• the lower surface engaging each of the first and second elongate load beams,
• the body comprising a plurality of discrete components depending from the lower surface and abuttable to at least one of the first and second elongate load beams to thereby limit shifting of the operatively engaged first deck panel transversely to the lengths of the first and second elongate load beams,
• the upper surface having at least a first opening and the lower surface having at least a first projection,
• the at least first opening and at least first projection having shapes that are complementary such that a second deck panel, the same as the first deck panel, can be stacked on the first deck panel so that a corresponding at least first projection depending from a lower surface on the second deck panel extends into the at least first opening to maintain the first and second deck panels in a predetermined stacked relationship.
