ABSTRACT:
A system and apparatus is described for loading and carrying automobiles as cargo in a standardized, enclosed, dry-freight intermodal shipping container. The apparatus is provided in the form of a kit of assemblable components for manual installation in such container and for complete removal therefrom without use of tools, by which a track deck is erected using crossbeams supported between opposed mounting tracks provided by conventional slotted sideposts along the interior sidewalls of the container, and track sections mounted, and retained by removable pins on such crossbeams. Automobiles are driven on to such track deck via a ramp extending from the loading dock to the track deck, which ramp may also be included in the kit. The cars are tied down against vertical or longitudinal movement on the tracks by nylon take-up straps extending from the cars to the sidepost mounting tracks. Automobiles are also carried below such track deck, on the container floor, additional crossbeams with specially adapted wheel chocking plates mounted thereon being also furnished as part of the kit for securing these cars against longitudinal and lateral movement on the container floor.
