This device attaches to the undersurface of a cargo pallet at the "uphill" side thereof and serves to restrain the palletized load if released as by accident during on and off loading operations of a vehicle. The device consists of a spring-loaded wedge held in a bracket in the retracted position off the adjacent surface during loading by tying a lanyard from the wedge to the tow cable. If the tow cable should fail, tension on the lanyard is automatically released and the spring-loaded wedge moves to the lower position to apply friction against the surface, when the palletized load begins moving by gravity down the incline. The foot of the wedge and the upper portion of the bracket which mates with the undersurface of the pallet are both covered with rubber or the like which serves to increase the frictional coefficient between the wedge and surface to prevent damage to the pallet.
