Modular loading system for a shipping container

A system comprising:

• a shipping container;
• and
• a modular loading system positionable in the shipping container and removable from the shipping container, the modular loading system comprising:
• a plurality of structural beams positionable in the shipping container, the plurality of structural beams spaced apart and arranged in a first direction, wherein at least one structural beam of the plurality of structural beams comprises:
• a fixed contact surface located on a first end of the at least one structural beam, the fixed contact surface arranged to make contact with an inside surface of the shipping container;
• and
• an adjustable contact surface located on a second end of the at least one structural beam located opposite the first end, the fixed contact surface and the adjustable contact surface configured to apply pressure to an inside surface of the shipping container to stabilize the modular loading system in approximately the first direction, the adjustable contact surface usable to install the modular loading system in non-uniform spacing of the shipping container to enhance one or more parameters comprising an arrangement of items in the shipping container, wherein the pressure is appliable to the inside surface by the fixed contact surface based on the contact between the inside surface and the fixed contact surface;
• and
• a plurality of modular beams spaced apart and arranged in a second direction that is nonparallel to the first direction, each modular beam of the plurality of modular beams coupled with each structural beam of the plurality of structural beams at one or more connection points, wherein each modular beam of the plurality of modular beams comprises:
• a plurality of receiving notches, each receiving notch of the plurality of receiving notches sized to receive a locking bar that is configured to stabilize the modular loading system in a third direction that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, the locking bar repositionable within the modular loading system for enhancing the one or more parameters.

A system comprising:

• a first modular loading system comprising:
• a first plurality of structural beams positionable in a shipping container, the first plurality of structural beams spaced apart and arranged in a first direction, wherein at least one structural beam of the first plurality of structural beams comprises:
• a first fixed contact surface located on a first end of the at least one structural beam of the first plurality of structural beams, the first fixed contact surface arranged to make contact with an inside surface of the shipping container;
• and
• a first adjustable contact surface located on a second end of the at least one structural beam located opposite the first end, the first fixed contact surface and the first adjustable contact surface configured to apply pressure to an inside surface of the shipping container to stabilize the first modular loading system in approximately the first direction, wherein the pressure is appliable to the inside surface by the first fixed contact surface based on the contact between the inside surface and the first fixed contact surface;
• and
• a first plurality of modular beams spaced apart and arranged in a second direction that is nonparallel to the first direction, each modular beam of the first plurality of modular beams coupled with each structural beam of the first plurality of structural beams at one or more connection points, wherein each modular beam of the first plurality of modular beams comprises:
