ABSTRACT:
A load spacer is disclosed having an improved suspension system for suspending the load spacer between containers or articles in a railway boxcar or other freight shipping vehicle or container to prevent shifting of the load. The load spacer is a collapsible honeycomb structure and includes spaced, elongated, rigid suspension members which are woven through the upper two layers of the structure. The ends of the suspension members project laterally past the planar sides of the structure and are adapted to rest on the tops of articles of freight on opposite sides of the space filled by the load spacer. The suspension members support the spacer from above over a relatively wide area and are held in position by a relatively high frictional force to provide a strong, reliable suspension system.
