a keeper assembly including a base, a movable anti-shear mechanism coupled to the base, and a keeper coupled to the anti-shear mechanism, the keeper and anti-shear mechanism being movable together relative to the base between a retracted position and an extended position, the keeper arranged to extend along a first axis,
wherein a hook of the latch assembly is configured to selectively engage with the keeper of the keeper assembly, the latch assembly is configured to selectively move the hook to draw the keeper assembly toward the latch assembly and move the anti-shear mechanism from the retracted position to the extended position to engage a first shear pin and a second shear pin of the anti-shear mechanism with the latch assembly, the first shear pin is arranged to extend along a second axis substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis, and the second shear pin is arranged to extend along a third axis substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the first axis opposite the second axis.
