    ^^^ I'll admit I struggled a bit with this one. I'm not used to building my loads "up," if you know what I mean. LOL

    Kyle,

    on that plastic tube rolls in the center are you just crossing them on top or do you run the strap down the inside and out the bottom on other? I’ve never hauled that stuff.

    Thanks

    I run them through the center. 4 straps per stack (We call them silos). Toss the hook end inside and pull it through the pallet, then pull the other end over the top and outward at an angle. This way you are pulling down and out in 4 directions at once. It's a pita but once its done it rides real nice and stays tight and you don't have to worry about it.

    Next time I haul them I will take better pics.

    thanks! It took me awhile but it was pretty solid when I was done, didn't have any problems.

    @staceydude I was just looking through my phone and found a better pic that shows how I run the straps through. So the arrows are pointing to both ends of the same strap

    The customer I loaded gas pipe at would not let you out of the gate if your straps were on the pipe instead of the of the protector which can be seen in picture #2, the customer was just as picky if not worse.

    Since I had winches on both sides of my trailer I put one from each side on the front and rear silos and one over the center silos.
