1. A load moving and stabilizing apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a base element having a generally rectangular and planar shape;a primary load-engaging surface that is affixed to a top surface of the base element, a top portion of the primary load-engaging surface comprising a first wave-shaped
1. A load moving and stabilizing apparatus, the apparatus comprising: a base element having a generally rectangular and planar shape;a primary load-engaging surface that is affixed to a top surface of the base element, a top portion of the primary load-engaging surface comprising a first wave-shaped surface; andone or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements adjustably coupled to a top portion of the primary load-engaging surface, the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements comprising a second wave-shaped surface, the first-wave shaped surface configured to receive the second wave-shaped surface, wherein the primary load-engaging surface is coupled to the one or more load-stabilizing elements by placing the first wave-shaped surface and the second wave-shaped surface in contact with one another. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are configured for adjustable coupling with one another, such that the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are stackable. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the one or more load-stabilizing elements are configurable, such that the one or more load-stabilizing elements form a secondary load-engaging surface that provides a substantially level engagement with a load. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the primary load-engaging surface comprises one or more fastening mechanisms configured to mate with one or more complementary fastening mechanisms of the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base element is formed from a high density polymer and has a smooth ground-engaging surface. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the primary load-engaging surface and the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements comprise a compressible material, such that the primary load-engaging surface and the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements conform to the contours of a load. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the primary load-engaging surface and the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are formed from one or more of polyethylene foam and cell sponge rubber. 8. A sled for moving and stabilizing loads, the sled having a primary load-engaging surface and a secondary load-engaging surface, the sled comprising: a base element having a generally planar shape;a primary load-engaging surface that is affixed to a top surface of the base element; anda secondary load-engaging surface comprising one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements adjustably coupled to the primary load-engaging surface, the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements at least partially constructed of a cohesive material, the cohesive material providing an adhesive force to detachably couple a first load-stabilizing element to at least one of the primary load-engaging surface and a second adaptable load-stabilizing element. 9. The sled of claim 8, wherein the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are configured for adjustable coupling with one another such that the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are stackable. 10. The sled of claim 8, wherein the secondary load-engaging surface is configurable, such that the secondary load-engaging surface provides a substantially level engagement with a load. 11. The sled of claim 8, wherein the primary load-engaging surface comprises one or more fastening mechanisms configured to mate with one or more complementary fastening mechanisms of the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements. 12. A sled for moving and securing objects, the sled comprising: a base element having a generally planar shape;a primary load-engaging surface that is affixed to a top surface of the base element, the primary load-engaging surface comprising a first surface; andat least one adjustable load-securing element coupled to the primary load-engaging surface, each of the at least one adjustable load-securing elements comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface of the primary-load engaging surface and at least one of each load-securing element's first surface and second surface comprising a surface treatment, the surface treatment creating frictional resistance to a lateral force applied between the primary load-engaging surface and the at least one load-securing element. 13. The sled of claim 12, further comprising one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements adjustably coupled to the primary load-engaging surface. 14. The sled of claim 13, wherein the primary load-engaging surface, the at least one adjustable load-securing element, and the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are formed from an adaptable material, such that the primary load-engaging surface and the at least one adjustable load-securing element conform to the contours of a load. 15. The sled of claim 13, wherein the one or more adaptable load-stabilizing elements are sized to fit within a void formed within the at least one adjustable load-securing element. 16. The sled of claim 12, wherein the primary load-engaging surface comprises one or more fastening mechanisms configured to mate with one or more complementary fastening mechanisms of the at least one adjustable load-securing element. 17. The sled of claim 12, further comprising a second adjustable load-securing element.
