Abstract
A device for securely restraining open head shipping drums during vehicular transport. The device comprises a platform member supported in spaced relation from an underlying floor, and having an upper load bearing surface for receiving a cargo load of open head shipping drums thereupon. An upright member is adjoined to one end of the platform member for effecting restraining contact with the adjacent side of the load seated on the platform member, the upright member including a generally planar member facing the load. The upper load bearing surface of the platform member is stepped to define first and second generally planar support levels at alternate sides of the platform member, whereby drums respectively supported on the first and the second levels are precluded from impact between their respective rims, upon side-to-side movement or swaying thereof.
