One or more flatbed trailers, load placement devices and/or collapsible bulkheads are provided. The flatbed trailer may have a lowered center of gravity and may comprise a plurality of load placement devices and a collapsible and/or crushable bulkhead disposed on a deck of the flatbed trailer to provide improved load transportation safety.

The disclosure relates to a trailer for hauling tyres. The trailer includes a frame having a front end, a rear end and a pair of parallel elongate chassis rails. The trailer also includes one or more pairs of transverse rails, each pair of transverse rails being adapted to support one or more tyres in an upstanding position thereon. Each pair of transverse rails is longitudinally translatable with respect to the elongate chassis rails between the front and rear ends of the frame. Each transverse rail in the pair is independently longitudinally translatable with respect to the elongate chassis rails so that the spacing of the pair of transverse rails may be varied to suit a tyre diameter. The trailer is also provided with a tyre stillage associated with each pair of transverse rails for supporting one or more upstanding tyres thereagainst.

A transport wagon with a loading platform configured to have a loaded state, wherein in the loaded state, cargo may be loaded onto the loading platform and wherein the loading platform extends along a longitudinal axis; a strapping system configured to secure the cargo on the loading platform, wherein the strapping system comprises at least one tensioning means configured to be guided, with the aid of a conveying device, at least partially around the cargo loaded onto the loading platform thereby tensioning the cargo against the loading platform; wherein the loading platform is delimited at a frontal end by transverse side parts comprising the conveying device of the strapping system; and wherein the at least one tensioning means is affixed to the transport wagon and configured to move along the longitudinal axis relative to the loading platform.

Method for securing packing units 20 on a transport vehicle 21, the packing units comprising a base 22 and at least two upright joined round containers 2a, 2b, the method comprising the steps of: providing a first fixing holder 1′ on the upright circumferential edges 5 of two upright joined containers 2a, 2b of a first packing unit 20′, providing a second fixing holder 1′ on two upright circumferential edges of two upright joined containers 2a, 2b of the first packaging unit 20′ or of a second packaging unit 20″, arranging a tying strap or tensioning cable 8 over the fixing holders 1′, 1″, securing the first packing unit 20′ with the tying strap or tensioning cable 8 on the transport vehicle 21.

A load binding apparatus includes an elongated first part slidingly engageable to an elongated second part, the first and second parts including internal races or journal bearings to receive and provide guidance and support for a tie bolt, a tie bolt extending between the elongated first and second parts through the races/journal bearings to engage a threaded aperture in order to selectively shorten or elongate the load binding apparatus to control tension, and chain couplers at opposed ends to couple to a binding chain.

A tank rack may have a back frame member and at least two tank support members spaced apart from one another along the back frame member. Each of the tank support members may have two inner sections, two outer sections and a rear portion. The rear portion may be connected to the back frame member.

A progressive shipping stand includes a stage one assembly, and a stage two assembly. The stage one assembly and the stage two assembly together define a first profile, and the stage two assembly alone defines a second profile, smaller than the first profile. The stage two assembly may be attachable directly to a load. The stage two assembly is operable independently in a discrete support configuration and is selectively cooperable with the stage one assembly in a full support configuration. The shipping support allows for large machinery such as a turbine or the like to meet at least one shipping criteria that would not otherwise be feasible using a standard shipping support.
