Abstract:
A system to prevent longitudinal lading movement in trailers, containers, boxcars or other freight transport vehicles. A captive crossbar is used to restrain the lading. One end of the crossbar is captured in a guide channel attached to a wall of the transport vehicle. Once the transport vehicle is loaded, a roller device on the captive end of the crossbar enables the operator to position the crossbar along the guide channel easily. The crossbar is then pivoted about the roller assembly to span the loading region of the transport vehicle. As the crossbar is rotated, locking elements on each end of the crossbar engage respective lock receiving apertures defined on each vehicle wall. When the crossbar is not in use it may be stowed within the guide channel, permitting free access to the loading region of the vehicle for the loading and unloading of freight.
