ABSTRACT:
A rack for securing large, heavy, industrial sized cylindrically shaped objects, such as coils, on the flatbed of a vehicle for transportation, made from two parallel angle beams welded to at least two cross-members disposed perpendicular to the beams. Each beam has an inside inclined portion facing inwardly and covered with a rubber insert to carry the weight of the coil. The outwardly facing inclined portion of the angle beam supports the inside portion from collapse. A header beam on an end of the beam pair prevents longitudinal movement of the coil out of the rack. There is also a device for securing the rack to the flatbed using pins received through the cross-members and the floor of the flatbed. Alternatively, the rack can be secured with a stopper and tongue secured to the flatbed to be received by a slot either in the header beam or formed in a structure atop an extended cross-member. Additionally, the rack may be disposed on the flatbed either aligned with the length of the flatbed or rotated 90 degrees.
