ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for stabilizing cargo within a transport container. An apparatus includes first and second tubular elements having generally cylindrical bodies and bases at one end which can react against opposing surfaces within the transport container and stabilize cargo within the container. One base of one tubular member can react against a surface of cargo and the other base of the other tubular member can react against an opposing surface of other cargo or an internal wall of the transport container. An extension mechanism allows for the extension and selective translation between the first and second tubular members allowing the apparatus to extend and fill the space between opposing surfaces within the transport container and stabilize the cargo. A method for stabilizing cargo within a transport container includes providing an extensible load stabilizer having first and second tubular elements, each having a base, positioning the load stabilizer between opposing surfaces within the transport container, and extending the tubular members with respect to each other, and stabilizing a surface of cargo against an opposing surface.
