    Gimme a 9/16 wrench and I'll have all 6 of them j bolts twisted off in a minute or less.
    In a hard stop they would shear off like they wasn't even there.
    It could have bolts through the floor I suppose, but then what is the point of having the j hooks?
    And container pin is a hell of a lot stronger in every direction except straight up!

    Ouch!! On a side note that's right by my old neighborhood. I used to live off of Hill Top.
    You think he jerked the wheel when he saw the mess and flipped it?

    Give me a minute and all the binders on a coil can be pulled off.
    Give me a minute and a winch bar and I can loosen the straps on that load of shingles.

    Point is, removing the securing, then complaining it's not secured is well... stupid. Just because it's easy to remove the securing does not mean it isn't secured.... It just means it's designed to be removed.

    Those things keep the container from sliding off. They are pretty robust. Think of it as four king pins, one at each corner. If the container were to flip over it would easily take the chassis with it.

    What the #### do you have against tots? You probably like baked potatoes that taste like dirt and cow ####.

    Nothing just trying to figure out why he posted it in the hall of shame. Although they are kinda in the same league as corn dogs
