ABSTRACT:
A system for anchoring a mobile equipment carrier on a platform for transport by a freight carrier wherein the mobile equipment carrier is supported on a plurality of shock absorbing casters. Wheel anchors including a base bracket and a hold-down bracket attach the wheel of each caster to the platform to retain the caster against rolling and swiveling about the caster axis while accommodating vertical movement of the shock absorbing casters and the equipment supported thereby. The base bracket comprises a sheet metal member having end portions and an upwardly facing saddle shaped intermediate portion integral with the end portions and adapted to receive a caster wheel. The hold-down bracket comprises a sheet metal member having a mounting portion adapted for attachment to one end of the base bracket and a wheel engaging portion that extends upwardly from the mounting portion and is curved to extend around an upper portion of the outer periphery of a caster wheel to retain the wheel in the saddle shaped intermediate portion of the base bracket. The base bracket has laterally spaced ribs in the saddle shaped intermediate portion adapted to engage opposite sides of the caster wheel adjacent the outer periphery thereof, and a fastener to secure the mounting portion of the hold-down bracket to one end portion of the base bracket and to the platform.
