A removable and movable partition (10) for dividing up the interior of a cargo transporter has a boundary made up of mutually perpendicular inflatable tube sections (11,13,15,17) which rigidify upon inflation and urge themselves tightly into contact with the walls floor and ceiling respectively of the transporter. The inflation of the tubes also tensions between them a double dividing wall (33), of two parallel sheets of flexible material which are respectively secured tangentially to the tubes, and which may have a flap (39) for access to inflation/deflation valves (25,27). Shaped spacer means may be interposed between the tube(s) and floor and ceiling if they are corrugated or otherwise interrupted.

In combination, a transport means having a hollow body for cargo transportation and a partition for removably and adjustably dividing said body into compartments, the body being of substantially rectangular cross-section, the partition comprising a boundary having mututally perpendicular tubular portions and two dividing sheets extending to said boundary, said tubular portions being made substantially entirely of flexible material; and, means for inflating at least said tubular portions of the partition, whereby by expansion of said tubular portions upon inflation, the partition is retained in and by the body at a predetermined position along its length with the two dividing sheet being spaced apart to extend between said tubular portions and form an efficient thermal barrier between the compartments of the body.
