Abstract

A shipping deck and shipping storage system is disclosed. The shipping deck is a generally rectangular tile member formed of a plastic material. The shipping deck is substantially planar to support cargo placed thereon. The shipping deck rests upon three or more adjacent cargo bars and a plurality of downwardly projecting legs extend from the tile member in order to limit the movement of the shipping deck and to allow for stacking of the shipping decks when not in use. The cargo bars secure within a track which is located on opposite walls of the shipping container. The shipping deck, the cargo bars, and the track within the shipping container form a system for shipping storage.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a shipping deck for installation upon cargo bars which spans a shipping container used to transport cargo in a multi tier manner.[0003]2. Background Art[0004]Cargo is commonly transported in a variety of containers such as a semi-truck trailer, an enclosed truck box, a shipping container, a rail car or the like. Frequently, it is not possible to stack cargo or pallets of cargo due to the nature of the goods. When the cargo is light, the floor space of the cabin is filled but load capacity has not been reached. In order to increase the amount of cargo that can be transported without damage, cargo bars are used to span the container to stack multiple tiers of cargo. Conventionally, plywood deck boards are placed atop the cargo bars to form a shelf-like structure.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0005]The present invention provides a shipping deck which is used to transport cargo within a shipping container...
