Abstract

A cargo transportation system includes a sandwich panel and a channel. In another aspect, a cargo-securing or logistics track, or tie-down slat, is attached to a continuously slotted channel which is secured within a sandwich panel of a cargo container, which employs at least one core sheet including alternating peaks and valleys therein in addition to attached interior and exterior face sheets. Yet another aspect of a cargo transportation system includes an interior face sheet flange of a sandwich panel overlapping a flush mounted lateral segment of a slotted channel.
