Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Not really any pointers,except have a few longer straps. I would much prefer step, but it had nothing to do with safety, it is because of the freight, and not as much tarping either.

 

get another bar and cut it down about 6-8 inches for the step deck.

You'll thank me. (carry both, but sometimes that shortie bar is just perfect)

 

Ive got 40' straps and a shortie bar, check.

Guy asked what size tarps i want. Ive done 4s and a steel tarp. Im thinking a steel and a six. In my mind 8s is for lumber and tarped lumber does not pay. But ive never run a step. Maybe the tall loads that spec a step are 8ft tarp jobs.. I dunno. Im gonna target CNC moves. Will a 6 drop cover a mazak/haas/tsugami or is that 8ft territory?

 

8 fts will cover a load on a standard flat. You've got 2 more feet. Machinery that calls for a step will definitely need to be tarped.

 

If you’re tarping on a step, for loads that need a step, be better off shooting for machinery tarps that can cover 10’ tall. Plus wide if you want to move in that direction.

 

Thank you gents, i appreciate it.

If you secure 8ft on flat or 10ft on step - equal falling distance

 

Falling off i have down pat. Its the climbing back up i dont wanna labor at anymore!

Empty'd the pete out today. My gear filled the whole dang service bed on my f250. How did i ever accumulate all that?

 

You didn't notice your tare rising? The more you carry the less you haul.
