A stabilized attachment assembly (200) and ratchet load binder (100) using the stabilized attachment assembly (200) is provided. The stabilized attachment assembly (200) includes an attachment member (230) to which a lever arm (250) is coupled. The ratchet load binder (100) includes a tubular member (110) rotatably driven by a ratchet handle assembly (120). The attachment assembly (200) is threadedly engaged in one open end (116) of the tubular member (110) and an attachment member (130) is threadedly engaged in an opposing open end (116) of tubular member (110) and both are linearly displaced towards or away from one another responsive to rotation of the tubular member (110) in a particular direction. A user holds the lever arm (250) in one hand while reciprocally operating the ratchet handle assembly (120) with another hand.

Shoring blocks used as pedestal shoring under the cargo loading ramps of cargo planes and also used as sleeper shoring to support the weight of rolling stock loaded into cargo aircraft provide stackable foam structures of various and applicable shapes and sizes designed for particular cargo aircraft, each foam structure alternatively provided with a protective coating or fabric, reinforced with a stiffener or having fabric webbing integrated within or connecting more than one foam structure.

The invention relates to a method (200) for determining the sloshing of a liquid loading of a vessel, said method (200) comprising: a step (206) of determination of a monomodal excitation as a function of a multimodal excitation to which said vessel is subjected, the multimodal excitation comprising a state of the swell and a wind sea state, wherein the state of the swell comprises a direction of the swell and the wind sea state comprises a wind sea direction, and wherein the monomodal excitation exhibits a total direction equivalent to one out of the direction of the swell and the wind sea direction closest to a direction at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the vessel, a step (208) of determination of a datum relating to the sloshing of said loading as a function of the monomodal excitation.

A chocking system, which is both removable and readily adjustable, for providing additional transverse restraint to cargo during transit. The chocking system may be utilized when the size and weight of the cargo requires additional restraints beyond the typical lashing gear, for example, the transportation of barges on a ship.

A method of protecting freight in a cargo area of a freight carrier may include providing a first and second pallet in the cargo area adjacent to and spaced from each other, each pallet having a top surface supporting cargo and four side walls extending from the top surface in a direction away from the cargo; and providing pallet dunnage in the space between the first and second pallet such that the pallet dunnage contacts respective opposing side walls of the first and second pallet.
