Four cargo organizers may be formed into a cargo containment system using boards of one or two standard sizes of milled lumber and of varying lengths. To attach a board to a cargo organizer, a bottom of the board is placed on a sill that extends rearwardly of a cargo organizer wall. The board is rotated upwardly until its width is in a vertical position. Then, each of plural camming fingers is turned within a respective finger hole, the holes being selected by the user for the width of the board in question. An elongate blade of each camming finger helps affix the top of the board to a rear face of the organizer wall.

A pallet structure includes a positioning mechanism is provided. The positioning mechanism includes an engaging element disposed on a sloping edge and adapted to be engaged with slits formed on the inclined surface of a vehicle. A coil spring is connected between the engaging element and the sloping edge and biasing the engaging element to protrude outward from an outer surface of the sloping edge. A retaining element is disposed between an inner surface of the sloping edge and a bottom deck board of the pallet and configured to retain the engaging element to move between an engaging position and a disengaging position. The protruding end of the engaging element is protruded outward from the outer surface of the sloping edge in the engaging position, and the protruding end of the engaging element is not protruded from the outer surface of the sloping edge in the disengaging position.

A tie-down strap tensioner maintains a desired strap tension on cargo when placed on a truck flatbed or sea transport. Tie-down strap tensioners are made of rubbery-type resins that remain compressive in the amount of hand applied pressure on the strap assigned to a given cargo container shape. The tie-down strap tensioner has at least three different embodiments: one is for round or radius corners such barrels, one is for square corners such as boxes, and one is for either or both round and square corners. Each tie-down strap tensioner has an upper surface and a lower surface and the lower surface has extending members that are compressive in amount of tension applied to the strap thus accommodates the shape of the cargo container selected which remains expandable to its original shape.

A pallet adapter, system and method for restraining air cargo during flight are disclosed. A pallet adapter shifts a shipping container in an inboard direction of an aircraft so that the container does not contact an interior structure of the aircraft. Rigid restraints restrain the container from moving in the vertical direction during flight. Corner fittings restrain the container from moving in the fore-and-aft direction and the side-to-side direction during flight.
