Abstract
Abstract A work station for use with a vehicle has one or more inclined support frames of triangular construction, each frame receiving at least one slidably mounted carriage frame which can slide on the inclined support frame from a first position to a second position, thus allowing the carriage frame to slide from a first position to a second position in a direction which is downward and away from the first position, but which maintains the carriage frame substantially parallel to the inclined support frame, the inclined support frame allowing the carriage frame to slide from the second position to the first position in a direction upwards and towards the first position.
