Portable Reusable Pallet Hook

Abstract

The present device provides a mechanism for securing a load along a relatively level load-bearing surface such as a pallet or skid. An anchoring component fixedly attaches to an edge or overhang of a pallet deck board. Attached to the anchoring component is an elongate member which extends vertically from the anchoring component. A hook component, at the end of elongate member distal to the anchoring component, fixedly attaches to a piece of flexible material wrapped around a load to be secured, at a point adjacent to where the anchoring component attaches to the deck board.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A portable, reusable device for securing a shrink-wrapped load to a pallet, comprising:
 an elongate member having a first end and a second end;   said first end defining an anchoring component;   said second end having an arcuate configuration and defining an attaching component.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 said anchoring component configured to wedgedly fit an edge of a deck board of a pallet;   said attaching component receiving a portion of shrink wrap at least partially enveloping a load resting atop said pallet.
