ABSTRACT A shipping facility including at least one cargo supporting structure mounted for easy, sliding movement on a receiving structure disposed within the cargo bay of a cargo transport vehicle preferably adapted for side and/or rear loading and unloading, wherein the at least one cargo supporting structure and the cargo held thereby is secured, during transport thereof, by conventional retaining facilities to minimize and dampen the lateral, longitudinal, oscillatory and random transportation forces which act upon the cargo during the transport thereof. The at least one cargo supporting structure is adapted for easy slidable/rollable movement along said receiving means between an operating position within a shipment area of the cargo bay and a non-operating position within a shipment area of the cargo bay for thereby freeing the shipment area for shipment of any type of cargo which it is normally capable of holding, after the original cargo has been unloaded, and vice versa. A method is also disclosed for shipping cargo on cargo supporting structures movable within the cargo bay of a cargo transport vehicle and for slidably/rollably moving the cargo supporting structures into a storage position for shipment of return lading including any type of cargo which the cargo transport vehicle is normally capable of holding, subsequent to discharge of the original cargo.
