Abstract
A loading/unloading system for an associated truck bed includes first and second laterally spaced rails configured for re) receipt in the associated truck bed. First and second support leg assemblies are operatively associated with the first and second rails, respectively. First and second motors are received on the first and second leg assemblies, respectively, and are configured to selectively raise and lower the first and second rails. A sensor assembly is mounted on the rails to monitor the position of the first rail relative to the second rail. The sensor assembly is interconnected to the first and second motors for maintaining the rails at the same height relative to one another.

A loading/unloading system for an associated truck bed comprising:
- first and second laterally spaced truck rails configured for receipt in the associated truck bed;
- and
- a power loader assembly that includes (i) first and second support leg assemblies that include (ii) first and second transfer rails, respectively, that operatively cooperate with the first and second truck rails, respectively, (iii) first and second motors received on the first and second leg assemblies, respectively, and configured to selectively raise and lower the first and second transfer rails, and (iv) a sensor assembly operatively mounted on the transfer rails to monitor the position of the first transfer rail relative to the second transfer rail, the sensor assembly operatively interconnected to the first and second motors to maintain the transfer rails at the same height relative to one another.
