An exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for securing a load, the device comprising a sled, a snubber, and a wedge. The sled can be configured to be coupled to the load. The snubber can be coupled to the sled and configured to be inserted into a chamber. The snubber can comprise a slot. The snubber can be configured to move between a contracted position and one or more expanded positions. The wedge can be configured to be inserted into the slot in a distal direction to cause the snubber to transition from the contracted position to the one or more expanded positions. The snubber can form an interference fit with an internal wall of the chamber when in a first expanded position of the one or more expanded positions to fix the location of the load relative to the chamber.
