Abstract: A device for variably securing loaded goods, preferably machine parts, on the bottom of stiff containers, in particular pallets, has a bottom plate provided with uniformly spaced apart receiving devices into which securing stays may be inserted in order to secure the parts. The securing stay is formed by a plurality of different bodies. An eccentric plug connection between the bodies allows the contour design of the securing stay to be widely varied in order to ensure optimum securing of the machine pans.
