But it seems it can be easily solved having dividers in cargo compartment.
Think of box with a grid inside it
Once the cargo is filled
The grid lines are raised (hydraulics) which compartmentize the whole cargo into blocks.
Invidual compartment will not have enough mass of material inside it to break the dividers if designed properly.
Sounds expensive and complicated.
It's probably cheaper to just have baffles and vacuum the cargo out.
The status quo is cheaper still
