Abstract
A load restraint for use in a container is disclosed. The road restraint comprises a support to locate and extend generally vertically within a first locating formation (such as a corrugation in a wall) within a container. A transverse member extends from the support member across the container to engage with a second locating formation (such as another corrugation). A load engaging member is secured to the transverse member to extend from the transverse member to engage a load within the container. The load engaging member is adjustable in position with respect to the transverse member whereby it can contact a load spaced from the transverse member over a range of distances.

A load restraint for use in a container comprising:
- a. a support to locate and extend generally vertically within a first locating formation within a container;
- b. a transverse member to extend across the container to engage with a second locating formation;
- and
- c. a load engaging member secured to the transverse member that extends from the transverse member to engage a load within the container, the load engaging member being adjustable in position with respect to the transverse member whereby it can contact a load spaced from the transverse member over a range of distances;
- d. in which each of the locating formations is constituted by a corrugation in a wall of the container.
A kit for constructing a load restraint for use in a container comprising:
- a. a support suitable for location and to extend generally vertically within a first corrugation within a wall of a container;
- b. a transverse member suitable for extending across the container to engage with a second corrugation within an opposite wall of a container;
- and
- c. a load engaging member that can be secured to the transverse member to extend from the transverse member to engage a load within the container, the load engaging member being adjustable in position with respect to the transverse member whereby it can contact a load spaced from the transverse member over a range of distances.
