Abstract: A pair of elongated anchor members are provided and extend along opposing walls of a load bed interconnected by means of a third wall extending therebetween. The anchor members have apertures formed therein spaced therealong and a load holding strap assembly is provided including an adjustable length main section and a pair of opposite end sections. Each end section comprises a generally U-shaped body constructed of stiff spring-type material and having a pair of generally parallel legs interconnected at one pair of corresponding ends by means of an integral bight portion extending therebetween. The other pair of the legs of each body include oppositely outwardly directed terminal ends and the bight portion is anchored to the corresponding end of the main section for oscillation relative thereto about an axis substantially coinciding with the center axis of the bight portion.

Abstract: An adjustable length shoring beam for use in shoring a partial load is provided and includes an elongated tubular center section, a first end section telescopingly engaged with one end of the center section for extension and retraction relative thereto and including latch structure operative to releasably latch the first end section in predetermined extended positions relative to the center section, a second end section telescopingly engaged with the other end of the center section for extension and retraction relative thereto and an abutment member mounted within the tubular center section for shifting therealong with spring structure operably connected between the abutment member and the second end section yieldingly biasing the latter toward a position in predetermined spaced relationship from the abutment member.
