An article hold-down device is disclosed which is capable of restraining movement of a heavy article away from a supporting platform. The hold-down device includes a lower clamping member adaptable to be secured to the platform, an upper clamping member having a projection thereon adaptable to be positioned into a close overlapping orientation with respect to the article, and a coupling member for quickly permitting vertical adjustment of the upper clamping member on the lower clamping member and for positively connecting the clamping members together upon reaching the close, overlapping orientation and to provide a secured condition of the article. The hold-down device is particularly adaptable to restrain vertical movement of a battery on a vehicle.
