See full text

A platform extension mechanism includes at least a bumper, a rolling bearing, an adjuster, and an axle. The axle has a first end surface and a second end surface. The axle is elongated along a first axis. The axle includes interior wall portions that define a slot from the first end surface to the second end surface. The axle is structured to receive the bumper and the adjuster via the slot. The axle is structured to support the bumper and the adjuster in relation to a platform and a structural channel. The axle includes a mounting portion and a shaft portion. The mounting portion has a flange with a first side and a second side. The first side of the flange is mountable to a sidewall portion of the platform. The shaft portion protrudes outward from the second side of the flange. The shaft portion has a peripheral portion that is structured to support the rolling bearing at a designated location along the first axis and enable the rolling bearing to move along the structural channel. The shaft portion is structured to support the bumper and the rolling bearing in a coaxial arrangement. The adjuster is aligned with the bumper and configured to adjust a position of the bumper along the first axis of the axle.
