SECURITY DEVICE FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER RAILROAD CARS
The disclosure directed to a security device. The disclosure is further directed to a security device for use on railroad cars, including those that carry shipping containers. The security device prevents the opening of the container doors while the containers are in railroad transit. The security device is secured to the railroad well car on either end with a clearance distance between the security device and the shipping container doors to allow for loading and unloading. The security device may be configured to be removable or adaptable for different shipping containers. The security device may be added to existing well cars or incorporated into the design of new well cars.
Cargo restraint system
An apparatus, a vehicle and a method for securing intermodal cargo containers is provided. Couplers include pins and bottom supports to engage apertures and bottom surfaces of corner fittings for intermodal cargo containers. The couplers may also include sidewall supports to engage forward facing side surfaces of the corner fittings. The pins, bottom supports, and sidewall supports hold an intermodal cargo container in place through a relatively large range of acceleration forces without damaging the corner fittings of the intermodal cargo containers. The couplers are selectively movable from a retracted position to an extended position to engage the corner fittings of the intermodal cargo containers.

Vehicle wheel chock hanger
Various embodiments provide a vehicle wheel chock hanger for holding different vehicle wheel chocks of different vehicle restraint systems. Various embodiments provide a vehicle wheel chock hanger for vehicle restraint systems for a vehicle such as an auto-rack railroad car that is configured to hold various different chocks that are configured to secure vehicles in that vehicle.
Container Locking Device and Piggyback Transport Vehicle
The present disclosure provides a container locking device and a piggyback transport vehicle. The container locking device comprises: a support, the support being provided with an accommodating space; a locking structure, a first end of the locking structure being hinged with the support, the locking structure having a locking position extending out of the accommodating space and an avoiding position retracted into the accommodating space; and a support structure, a first end of the support structure being hinged with a second end of the locking structure; wherein in a direction away from the locking structure, the support structure has a retraction position and a support position which cooperates with the support; when the locking structure is located at the locking position, the support structure is located at the support position and the locking structure is caused to stay at the locking position; and when the locking structure is located at the avoiding position, the support structure is located at the retraction position and is retracted into the accommodating space. The container locking device is an inward-overturning type and supports the locking structure by a support structure, and compared with an outer-overturning cantilever structure, the container can be supported and locked more reliably and stably.
Bin riser
Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a bin riser positionable between different types of shipping bins to enable these shipping bins to stably stack atop one another in a way that inhibits an adjacent stack of shipping bins from toppling over during transit.

METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURING HEAVY LOADS
The current invention concerns a device for securing a load in a container. In an embodiment of the current invention, such a device comprises a leaf having a front and a rear main surface, and an aperture extending between said main surfaces for receiving a strap, whereby said rear main surface comprises a protrusion. In a further aspect, the invention is directed towards a method for securing a load, which method employs such a device.
Cargo Restraint Panel with Compressible Side Cover
A cargo restraint panel may comprise a foam core and one or more side caps covering one or more sides of the foam core. A side cap may protect a side of the foam core covered by the side cap. A side cap may comprise a ridge that allows the side cap to compress.
Rail-loading train for transporting long-welded rails comprising clamping devices for the rail sections
Arranged on a rail loading train for transporting long-welded rails is a fixing device for anchoring the rails. The fixing device is composed of a number of clamping devices, each provided for anchoring a single rail. The clamping devices are configured to be adjustable relative to the rail loading train in a longitudinal direction of the wagon by a displacement drive.
