Abstract: A bracket for use as an intermediate connector element for connecting a tie-down strap to a side rail of a load platform in a manner to avoid interference between the tie-down strap and a barrier element of a gate unit positioned at the perimeter of the load platform, the bracket having a body of monolithic, single piece construction with a first end and a second end, the first-end being adapted for connecting to a side rail of a load platform and the second end being adapted for connecting to a tie-down strap, wherein the bracket body is shaped and dimensioned to closely conform to outer surfaces of the load platform.

Abstract: A stake post having a locking hinge that enables selective movement of a gate unit between a first position in which the gate unit forms a portion of a retaining wall in cooperation with other gate units, and a second position in which the gate unit is removed from alignment with one or more adjacent gate units to thereby provide an opening through a retaining wall otherwise formed by the stake post when in the first position.
