ABSTRACT:
An adaptor assembly for a pallet or platform allows plural cargo carrying nfigurations for the pallet. The assembly has a pocket at the edge of the pallet's bed, the pocket having opposed sides, a web therebetween facing the edge of the bed and a ledge between the sides. The pocket has a gap between the sides adjacent to and coplanar with the ledge. A clamp passing through the gap has a mediate section faced on the edge, the mediate section opposing the web and contacting the sides of the pocket. First and second legs of the clamp join to the mediate section and bear on opposed sides of the bed, the mediate section and the legs together forming a C-shaped structure closely received on the bed. A flange extends inboard of the pallet from the first leg and provides a cargo tie-down point. The clamp has one position where the flange is above the bed and has an inverted position where the flange is below the bed. The shank of a stake fits closely between the sides of the pocket and closely between the mediate section and the web. The assembly also includes a wall unit comprised of a wall panel faced against the stake and frame members faced to the wall panel along borders thereof, the frame members closely fitting steps in the stake such that the wall panel, stake and frame members mutually reinforce each other.
