An apparatus and method for supporting a load is provided. The apparatus comprises a structure (407) having an inner surface (470) with a shape configured to substantially conform to an outer surface (452) of a stringer (304). A number of pins (420) extend from the inner surface of the structure such that the number of pins are configured to engage holes (457) in the outer surface of the stringer when the structure is placed over the outer surface of the stringer. The pins support the structure with respect to the stringer when a load is applied to the structure. The structure comprises a number of members (411, 413) fixed with regard to each other by means of a flange (430) configured to support a hanger (440) for the load.
