A mechanically actuated cargo restraint system for a vehicle includes a rotatable reel in a frame, a first flexible tether, a base and a pawl. The frame includes a cog having a single tooth. The first flexible tether has a first end coupled to the rotatable reel and a second end capable of being coupled to one of a vehicle and a cargo item. The first flexible tether is windable around the rotatable reel. The base rotate with the reel. The pawl is pivotally connected to the base, and is biased in a first position that allows rotation of the pawl with respect to the cog. The pawl moves to a second position responsive to centrifugal force associated with a velocity of rotation of the rotatable reel exceeding a threshold. The pawl engages the cog in the second position to inhibit relative movement of the pawl with respect to the cog.

A double door temporary bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material with the angle apex pointing inward. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape. A single door bulkhead locking member comprising a single or joined rigid material as a straight plain panel to fit into the single doorway of a shipping container. The temporary bulkhead is wedged across the width of the inside opening of a container when one door is closed and the other open. When the flowable product is installed into the container the pressure on the bulkhead is transferred to the outer edges sealing the product into the container. The temporary bulkhead material has a series of creases, notches, slots and shapes that are folded and locked into the proprietary shape.

A movable equipment loading and unloading structure for movably mounting equipment within a container includes a loading and unloading assembly and a guide assembly. The loading and unloading assembly includes a loading and unloading rail mounted to a ceiling of the container and a loading and unloading wheel assembly movably coupled to the loading and unloading rail. The loading and unloading wheel assembly is mounted to a side of the equipment. The guide assembly includes a guide rail mounted to a floor of the container and at least one guide wheel rollably coupled to the guide rail. The guide wheel is mounted to another side of the equipment opposite to the side mounted to the loading and unloading wheel assembly.

A shipping container storage system includes mounting posts that are mountable within the inner or outer channels along the corrugated side walls of a shipping container for supporting various load supporting accessories releasably along the mounting posts. A first mounting bracket configuration allows one or both ends of the mountings posts to be fastened to a perpendicular end surface at the top or bottom end of a channel receiving the mounting post therein. A second mounting bracket configuration includes a hook that allows the mounting posts to be suspended from a rigid anchor loop at a top end of a channel in the shipping container side wall.

A wall system for a cargo container is provided. The wall system includes a plurality of panels that are configured to be fixed to logistics posts in a cargo compartment. Each panel includes a central portion and right and left end portions that are disposed on respective outboard sides of the central portion, the central portion includes a planar wall surface, the right and left end portions each include a planar wall surface. The central portion comprises two or more recessed portions that extend inwardly from the planar wall surface to define an elongate void that is configured to receive an elongate track therein, such that an outer surface of the elongate track, when disposed within the recessed portion, is co-planar with the planar wall surface of the central portion or disposed within the recessed portion and recessed behind the planar wall surface of the central portion.

A horizontal storage module (HSM) includes a body defining a plurality of compartments configured for receiving canisters, wherein the compartments are arranged in a first row at a first elevation and a second row at a second elevation higher than the first elevation, and wherein at least a portion of one compartment in the first row is in the same horizontal axis location as at least a portion of one compartment in the second row. A method of manufacturing the HSM includes positioning adjacent segments. A carriage assembly for the HSM includes a frame and an actuation means for lifting a cask containing a canister. A method of lifting includes receiving a cask and lifting a cask for delivery of the canister to the HSM.

The present invention is directed to an air cargo container formed from a plurality of fiber-reinforced (e.g., carbon fiber) composite panels. The use of fiber reinforcement provides for an increased strength-to-weight ratio as compared to existing air cargo containers. Furthermore, the present invention also includes air cargo containers having convex side panels, which decreases the chance of damage to the container or to its contents in the event of an impact. The air cargo container is collapsible, with panels able to be stacked for more efficient storage.

An apparatus for supporting a plurality of elongated members on a wall defining an upstanding wall surface comprises a sheet configured for mounting to the wall in substantially-planar upstanding orientation with one face disposed opposite to the wall surface, so as to be an inner face, and an opposite face of the sheet facing away from the wall, so as to be an outer face. The apparatus includes a plurality of holders each arranged to receive one of the elongated members in generally horizontal orientation and connected to the outer face of the sheet in an array forming at least one column across the sheet in which the holders are disposed in generally linear fashion one above the other between the upper and lower ends of the sheet so that the elongated members are supportable generally one above the other in horizontal orientation.

A transport container for carrying objects includes a base for supporting the objects. Opposing first and second side walls are operatively connected to the base. At least one of the side walls is movable between an extended position and a contracted position. The transport container has a first width between the first and second side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the extended position and a second width between the side walls when at least one of the side walls is in the contracted position. The second width is different from the first width. The first and second side walls are also movable between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The transport container has a first height when the side walls are in the deployed position and a second height different than the first height when the side walls are in the collapsed position.

An assembly for engaging an elongate support for restraining cargo in a container having a wall including a bottom surface for engaging the wall and a top surface having a pair of slide rails, and a sleeve defining a cavity for receiving an end of the elongate support. The sleeve having a bottom defining a slot for slidably receiving the slide rails for slidably engaging the sleeve and the base.
