ABSTRACT:
A system for securing a vehicle of the type having a plurality of wheels from rolling or sliding along the floor of a refrigerated-type cargo container, employs lashing point anchors which couple to the floor of the cargo container without damaging same. Generally, the floors of refrigerated-type cargo containers are delicate, as they are formed of a plurality of elongated floor sections formed of extruded aluminum. The floor sections are arranged parallel to, and at a predetermined inter-sectional distance from, one another, each elongated floor section having a horizontal top portion and a vertical portion arranged orthogonal to one another to form a T-shaped cross-sectional configuration. A plurality of lashing straps, each having first and second ends, are coupled between the vehicle and respective ones of the lashing point anchors. Each lashing strap has an associated length adjustment arrangement. The lashing point anchors are in the form of assemblies that are removably coupled with the floor of the refrigerated-type cargo container and have first and second lashing point assembly portions whereby when the lashing point assembly is coupled to the floor of the refrigerated-type cargo container, at least a portion of the horizontal top portion of the one of the elongated floor sections is interposed between the first and second lashing point assembly portions.
