ABSTRACT:
A rack for shipping flat glass sheets has a slanted backwall between a pair of standards and a base to support the sheets on edge sloped toward the backwall for shipping and packing stability. A front restraint having a pair of vertical posts and sheet engaging surface therebetween is mounted in the base and urged toward the backwall against the sheet by a compression tool. A rod pivotally mounted on each of the standards is detachably secured to the post of the front restraint. Lateral motion of the sheets is eliminated by end restraints mounted on the sides of the base. An adjustable dunnage member made of interlocking polystyrene pieces is used as a filler to secure less than a full load of sheets in the rack. An adjustable outrigger mounted on the base is employed as a filler for space between racks when loaded on a railcar or trailer.
