Abstract: A frame fixture having a support base, receiving plate, a pair of carrier bolts and a post, the fixture is placed onto the top of a telephone switchgear frame so that the base grips the frame. The post has two carrier bolts extending therefrom and further has a cargo bar placed transversely to the bolts and is located therebetween. A receiving plate is attached to the bolts to fasten the cargo bar between the post and plate. A plurality of spaced switchgear frames in a transport vehicle are adapted to be interconnected by the cargo bar so as to prevent toppling of the former about their bases.

Abstract: A spreader bar arrangement adapted to be attached to an elongated product, such as a telephone switchgear frame, which assists in loading and unloading the product onto a transport vehicle having a movable crane mechanism. The spreader bar arrangement includes a support member extending along the top of the elongated product and having a plurality of fastening apertures therein which coincide with coupling points in the upper frame of the product such that the support member may be bolted thereto. A connector member is attached to the support member centrally along its length and includes at least one U-bolt extending around the support member. A bracket is bolted to the legs of the U-bolt, and a pin extends centrally through the bracket and has a hole therein for attachment to the crane mechanism of a transport vehicle.
