Abstract
An example apparatus includes a bracket having a rack attachment member and a guard attachment member, and upper and lower engagement tabs that are coupled to the rack attachment member and have a stem portion and a head portion. The rack attachment member has a lock pin hole above the lower rack engagement tab. The lock pin hole is sized and positioned to provide sufficient cross-sectional area within a rack engagement distance to allow passage of a bracket lock pin therethrough within the rack engagement distance. The apparatus further includes a bracket lock pin having a stabilizing leg coupled to a lock pin head, where the stabilizing leg fits through the lock pin hole and the lock pin head does not. The stabilizing leg urges the lock pin head toward the lock pin hole when the stabilizing leg is passed through the lock pin hole.
