Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

wow ! now im curious, how do they unload it?

 

With a big magnet, I’ll post a video tomorrow when I’m offloaded.

 

Like a high lumber load...it's safer to walk on your hands and kneepads.
I don't load without them.

 

Guessing, like some van unloads I've seen, they have them on a hydraulic lift, after removing the back brace, it just rolls them off.

 

#3, and delete the "tightening screw" first complaint is it mars your rubrail

It gets in the way and is completely unnessary, without it, makes you more likely to move winch as you roll up straps rather than drag em all to the place you put your winder.

 

@Winnyf1 Before I sold out and retired, I hauled a lot of grinding balls out of that plant. I live about 30 miles away and it was one of my loads out of the house. Super Sacks, crates, barrels and bulk. I enjoyed hauling all of them, never had to throw a tarp it. Then again 100 years ago we never strapped a load of bentonite down, coming out of Wy. or any number of other things we did or didn't do. Times change and you have to change with it, that is until you get so old that you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Then it's time to sell out and retire. My final straw was ELD lol.

 

Cool yeah they’ve only been tarpping for two months, I guess someone lost a load near the plant in TN and the DOT felt the need to step in.

 

Just wait for one of those sides to fail WITH the tarp...

 

Ran this goofy bastardo to the port today. Not a bad gig, 180 miles for $1400.

 

That's a thought. There was actually two other reasons I don't use that one much, like your suggestion, after the screw loosened, it bends it away from the rail with that rotation, and you have to beat it back together making it tighter, but it does it again, with the side one, you don't have it bending in the direction of rolling..the other problem....I never remembered to reposition the winches and would always bust my knuckles up, .....so I pretty much stopped using it more for that reason than any other.
