Abstract
A one-piece dunnage bar for a dunnage rack of the type used to store and transport parts within an automotive factory. The dunnage bar includes integral inner and outer C-shaped portions roll-formed from a single piece of structural metal. The inner and outer portions each include overlying wall segments that cooperate to define the mouth of the C shape. The thickness of each of these wall segments is one-half of the thickness of the remainder of the walls so that the pancaked wall segments have a combined thickness approximately the same as that of the remaining walls.
