Transport vehicle

A transport vehicle providing a lightweight and flexible design for a medium-sized route delivery truck. The vehicle is constructed on a conventional truck chassis, and includes a plurality of cargo bays extending transversely across its width, with each cargo bay being dividable into left and right lateral half portions via a removable central panel. In at least one bay the floor in each lateral half is positionable either horizontally or slightly inclined towards the center of the truck, with the proper position being dependent upon the type of merchandise being transported in the cargo bay. The truck frame includes a pair of I beams extending longitudinally from front to rear thereof along the truck roof on top of all of the cargo bays. The pair of I beams extend in a cantilever fashion over the most rearward cargo bay, and provide the load-carrying capacity for that rearward bay by suspending the weight thereof from the pair of I beams. The vehicle design provides an exceptionally versatile delivery truck, with the removability of the central partition in each cargo bay and the adjustability of the position of the floor allowing substantial versatility as to the type of cargo capable of being carried therein. The design provides the potential of being changed on a daily basis to accommodate different types of cargo loads.
