BRACING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CARGO CONTAINERS

摘要

A bracing system and method are provided to restrain cargo against longitudinal movement within a cargo container. The system uses U-channels in opposing side walls of the cargo container adjacent a rear opening of the cargo container. The system includes one or more bracing bars and an end cap at the first end and at the second end of each bracing bar. Each end cap has a channel section providing an extension to fit in the U-channels of the cargo container. The channel section is configured for a frictional fit in the U-channel to resist vertical displacement in the U- channel once a bracing bar with a pair of end caps is forced into a horizontal position across the opening of the cargo container, with the channel sections in the opposing U- channels.
