• ii) a cable having a fixed end, fixed to said second side support, and a latch end;
• iii) a latch coupled to the latch end of the cable and comprising;
• a latch aperture;
• a latch arm configured to pivot about a pivot to produce an opening into said latch aperture;
• iv) a cable attachment on said first side support and comprising a cable attachment loop configured to receive said latch with the cable attachment loop extending through the latch aperture;
• v) a magnetic latch retainer on said second side support of the nestainer and comprising:
• a magnet;
• and
• a latch retainer extension;
• wherein the latch is detachably attachable to said magnetic latch retainer with the latch retainer extension extending through the latch aperture and the latch magnetically attached to the magnet;
• wherein the nestainer loading opening is in an open configuration with the latch coupled to the magnetic latch retainer, with the latch aperture configured around the latch retainer extension and with the latch magnetically attached to said magnet;
• b) detaching the latch from the magnetic latch retainer on the second side support of the nestainer, by pulling the latch off from the latch retainer extension;
• c) extending the cable across the nestainer loading opening to the first side support of the nestainer;
• d) latching the latch to the cable attachment on the first side support of the nestainer;
• wherein the nestainer loading opening is in a closed configuration with the cable extending across the nestainer loading opening with the latch latched around the cable attachment loop of the cable attachment.
