  • Patent number: 8221038
    Abstract: An overrideable load restraint for restraining a preselected particular type pallet load having side pockets and the restraint having a frame and a body member pivotally mounted on the frame for movement between an upright position and a retracted position and a pawl pivotally mounted on the body and the pawl pivotally moveable between an engagement position and a retracted position and the pawl having a lip extending outwardly and the lip engaging a pocket on the preselected particular type of pallet load for the body in the upright position and the pawl in the engaged position to restrain the preselected type pallet load from movement in three directions: longitudinally in the fore and aft direction, transversely in the lateral direction and vertically in the up direction. The body member is pivotally moveable to the retracted position for the condition of a pallet load, or other load, having a greater width than the preselected particular type pallet load pressing down thereon while passing thereover.
