Abstract
A cargo restraint system for holding down a cargo pallet, container or Unit Load Device ('ULD') to a cargo floor which has several cargo restraint units that can be attached to the cargo floor. Each cargo restraint unit has a pawl member which can be extended from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position. In the vertical position, the pawl member restrains the horizontal movement of the cargo pallet, container or ULD placed next to the pawl member. An elongated locking bar engages several of the pawl members to restrict the vertical motion of the cargo pallet, container or ULD placed adjacent to the pawl members.
