Securing cargo

Almost, but not quite. The WLL on 5/16 chain is 4700 lbs. If you have 3/8 chain the WLL is 6600 lbs. If you only have 5/16, to achieve the correct WLL of half the weight you would need an additional chain per box.

 

I know few companies that have the container style locks on their steps. PropX by any chance? Noticed they have 2 smaller ones. We pulling Arrow's up boxes around in the Marcellus. They're starting to dominate the market up here. Sandbox and Hali are a joke with how they conduct business and their rates are nothing special

I saw a guy yesterday with 2 chains a box. Wasn't close enough to tell if they were 5/16 or 3/8. At least if you over secure it the customer knows your being safe and willing to go the little extra to provide a good service.

 

Is this a one time haul? Why doesnt the stepdeck have container locks? There's no way you're dropping loaded boxes on site and having to unchain them.

 

@Gentlemanfarmer is correct.

 

Anyone else notice 5/16 grade 80 is less than grade 70 by 200lbs?

 

I think someone dyslexia'd that lol

 

Nope it’s that way in every literature I’ve ever seen.

 

I'll be ######. Googling brings up the same thing.

Only thing I can think is grade 80 is alloy?

 

the value increases on every other size except 5/16
and 7/16 is missing in all the ones ive seen
