ABSTRACT:
An improved bulkhead assembly intended for use in connection with the transportation of materials on a flat rack container, and an improved material transport system employing such bulkhead assembly is shown. The improved material transport system is of the type which includes a flat rack container having at least one open ended rail mounted on the flat rack which includes at least a pair of opposed flat bars mounted in spaced apart relation extending along the lengh of the rack container. The improved bulkhead assembly is formed by a base including an upper plate which rides along the upper support surface of the rail, and a lower locking plate adapted for riding along the lower surface of the rail. Devices are interposed between the upper plate and the lower locking plate for lockingly engaging the base onto the rail at any fixed position along the length thereof. The upper plate of the bulkhead includes a bulkhead support member which is mounted thereon and extends upwardly therefrom and positioned to be in support relationship with respect to a material load carried on the flat rack container. One or more of the bulkheads may be slidingly positioned along the rails on the flat rack in order to hold a material load thereon. The system is further improved by providing a material support arm device adapted for overlying the material load and interposed between a pair of opposed bulkheads which are lockingly engaged on either side of the material load and which may be secured to each of the two bulkheads in order to tie down the material load during transport.
