We are looking at rigging up a step deck for a specialized application. On the upper deck we would want to mount a big diesel generator and some other things and then haul wheeled and tracked machines on the lower deck secured by chains as usual. I know they are really picky on how things are chained down but if something is securely bolted to the trailer is it good to go?
Any dot regs on stuff bolted down?

As far as i know if its attached ... well its attached. Tow trucks dont strap their winch's down.... just do it right, no zip ties.

I have seen many generators and cranes secured to the trailer with bolts. You will have no problem. Be sure to put a good backing plate on the under side of the trailer/bolt. Not required but when you spread out the load you will have fewer issues.
