Command center storage system

1 . A command center storage system comprising:

a stationary unit, the stationary unit comprising a support platform and a lower storage cavity disposed at least partially below the support platform, the support platform having a planar upper surface, a lower surface, a forward region, and a rearward region, wherein the lower surface is configured to be adjacent to a loading floor of a vehicle and the rearward region of the planar upper surface includes an opening to the lower storage chamber;

a first and a second slide rail disposed on the planar upper surface of the support platform and extending at least partially between the rearward region and the forward region; and

a moveable unit slidably coupled to the stationary unit via the first and second slide rails and configured to move between a rear position and a forward position relative to the stationary unit along a longitudinal axis extending between the forward region and the rearward region, wherein the moveable unit at least partially extends over at least a portion of the rearward region of the planar upper surface and the opening to the lower storage chamber when the moveable unit is in the rear position, and wherein the moveable unit extends over at least a portion of the forward region of the planar upper surface such that the opening to the lower storage chamber is accessible when the moveable unit is in the forward position,

wherein the upper surface of the forward region of the support platform has a surface area equal to or greater than a bottom surface area of the moveable unit.

2 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , wherein the first and second side rail extend generally upwards from the support platform generally towards the moveable unit.

3 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one lock configured to secure the moveable unit in the rear position.

4 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one lock configured to secure the moveable unit in the forward position.

5 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , further comprising a cover configured to extend across the opening to the lower storage chamber.

6 . The command center storage system of claim 5 , further comprising at least one hinge coupling the cover to the support platform.

7 . The command center storage system of claim 5 , further comprising a gasket configured to generally seal the lower storage chamber.

8 . The command center storage system of claim 7 , wherein the gasket is configured to generally seal the cover to the support platform.

9 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , wherein the moveable unit is configured to cover the opening to the lower storage chamber.

10 . The command center storage system of claim 9 , further comprising a gasket configured to generally seal the lower storage chamber.

11 . The command center storage system of claim 10 , wherein the gasket is configured to generally seal the lower storage chamber to the moveable unit.

12 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , wherein the moveable unit defines at least one upper storage chamber.

13 . The command center storage system of claim 12 , wherein the moveable unit includes an opening and a door configured to alternately open and close access to the upper storage chamber.

14 . The command center storage system of claim 13 , wherein the door includes a dry erase surface.

15 . The command center storage system of claim 14 , wherein the moveable unit includes an upper mounting surface configured to mount equipment thereon, and wherein the door is configured to pivot and slide at least partially underneath the upper mounting surface.

16 . The command center storage system of claim 1 , wherein the lower storage chamber and the upper storage chamber are configured to be simultaneously accessible when the moveable unit is in the forward position.

17 . A command center storage system comprising:

a stationary unit, the stationary unit comprising a support platform and a lower storage cavity disposed at least partially below the support platform, the support platform having a planar upper surface, a lower surface, a forward region, and a rearward region, wherein the lower surface is configured to be adjacent to a loading floor of a vehicle and the rearward region of the planar upper surface includes an opening to the lower storage chamber;

a first and a second slide rail disposed on the planar upper surface of the support platform and extending at least partially between the rearward region and the forward region;

a moveable unit slidably coupled to the stationary unit via the first and second slide rails and configured to move between a rear position and a forward position relative to the stationary unit along a longitudinal axis extending between the forward region and the rearward region, wherein the moveable unit at least partially extends over at least a portion of the rearward region of the planar upper surface and the opening to the lower storage chamber when the moveable unit is in the rear position, and wherein the moveable unit extends over at least a portion of the forward region of the planar upper surface such that the opening to the lower storage chamber is accessible when the moveable unit is in the forward position; and

a cover configured to extend across the opening to the lower storage chamber.

18 . The command center storage system of claim 17 , further comprising at least one hinge coupling the cover to the support platform.

19 . The command center storage system of claim 17 , further comprising a gasket configured to generally seal the lower storage chamber.

20 . The command center storage system of claim 19 , wherein the gasket is configured to generally seal the cover to the support platform.
