ABSTRACT:
The system comprises band anchors uniformly spaced along opposite sides of a flat-decked vehicle, such as a railway flatcar. Each band anchor includes a pair of transversely extending facing channels flush with the deck of the car and having ratchet teeth depending from the top legs of the channels. An anchoring member is adjustably mounted between the channels and has teeth engageable with the ratchet teeth of the channels as tension on the band is taken up. The ratchet teeth cam and retain the anchoring members into engagement with the sides of the load as the bands are under tension. The anchoring members are non-flexible when under no load and each has an outer link with a compression member interposed between the outer link and anchoring member to accommodate extension of the outer link upon longitudinal shifting of the load.
