ABSTRACT:
A toeboard system for a deckplate is comprised of a toeboard member that includes an upper section extending above the deckplate, a central section having a deck opening configured to receive a side edge of the deckplate and a lower section. The toeboard system further includes a spacer member having a lower deck contact surface, the spacer member being fastened to the toeboard member below the deck opening of the central section by a mating opening on one member and a mating projection on the other member. The upper section of the toeboard member has an upper deck contact surface that is substantially flat and extends substantially perpendicular to a sidewall of a central section of the toeboard, an inboard surface which is substantially perpendicular to and intersecting with the upper deck contact surface and an outboard surface which is arcuate and convergent with the inboard surface at an edge remote from the upper deck contact surface. The spacer member can be of various sizes to adjust the size of the deckplate opening and has a lower deck contact surface which can support some of the load carried by the deckplate. The spacer can be welded to the toeboard member and either or both can be fixedly joined to the deckplate.
