Thinking outside the box a little, so can't say I ever tried it, but what about connecting 2 straps and running one side under your frame, other over the load and both end into a winch?

So if I understand this, your loading a sea can.
It really is no different than any other container load.
Two chains, one front, one rear. One strap for each 10 feet or portion of, over the top. If it is 9 ft wide, hook to your regular side rail, over the top, and to a ratchet. Don’t worry about going through the rub rail in this situation.
you’ll be fine.God prefers Diesels, FerrissWheel, PoleCrusher and 2 others Thank this. -

Curious to see what it is. The dimensions are odd for a container. Never seen a 9ft wide, 10ft, yes.God prefers Diesels, cke, FerrissWheel and 2 others Thank this. -
Yeah its not like anyone ever fudged the diminsions before. But yeah, let us see your handiwork.
*Thinks back to previous fleet manager who mis measured some mini mobiles by 6inches, before ordering permits with no truck on them going from PHX to florida. Me and the securment instructor at the time measured these ourselves, cause I was gonna be the hapless idiot pulling it, before I got sent something higher priority going north, and they sent a 3 month driver who prolly couldnt spell permit instead*
And I only know they sent a new guy, cause then the securement instructor told me about the ticket, invalidated permits, and the fact the poor sod blew an open scale on top of it, and was where he got raked over the coals. Forgot which state. Heck think he got busted in Lordsburg.
Oh well. Not my problem anymore.Last edited: Apr 12, 2021

Well, the container ended up being too tall, so we took it out. Hauling this for the Navy, Long Beach, CA to Portsmouth, VA...

If you have winches down both sides of your trailer you can always hook your flat hook into those winches. I do it quite a bit on wide loads so I can tighten both sides equally.Nostalgic, FerrissWheel, God prefers Diesels and 3 others Thank this.
