    The only reason i keep posting the link is because it just makes to much sense. And in our world, thats rare.

    I only glanced at them, but I haul a lot of slinkies coming out of gerdau in Beaumont. I can never get the straps tight and always worried about a shift. If these help with those, I might invest in some
     
    Airborne and street beater Thank this.

    I hate slinkies. The only time i load them is at this one facility that ships them 11 miles.

    That's usually my return load from Texas, it gets me back to Alabama for another load of eye to the sky coils coming from muscle shoals to Fremont Ohio, pays fairly decent and gets me to the house

    Since the load chokers don't have a load rating couldn't you use a regular shackle?

    When i first saw them, they were saying they were waiting for certification or some such thing to be considered a legal securment device in the us.
