Abstract
A shipping box or platform having a bottom with rails extending outwardly from the sides thereof adjacent the bottom is locked down onto the floor of an aircraft by a pair of spaced apart elongated locking members mounted on the floor. The distance between the locking members limits the width of the bottom of the shipping box or platform. In order to increase the size of the box or platform, the side walls extend outwardly beyond the width of the bottom. The lockdown rails are thus recessed beneath the side walls of the box or platform.
