Just bought our 1 st flatbed trailer.

I haul coils mostly.

 

I carried 20 foot straps along with 30 foot. I also had enough 40 foot straps for hay.

 

I know a driver that uses 12 on most loads . 3 on each corner , one straight down , one straight forward and one diagonally to the other corner of the trailer. And sometimes one straight down in the center of the equipment on each side .
And some spare chained and several spare binders in case they break.

 

What year. An Price

 

A dump valve is usually something that will let the air out of one of the axles airbags so you can make a tight turn without dragging the tires so hard. Some dump the front and some dump the rear or optionally both. Some will dump both when the parking brake is set.

It's a dumpy situation...

 

Recommend us cargo control to just have it shipped to you, quite reasonable prices for straps, bungees

Chain, rural king or if youre ambitious, buy a barrel of chain and ends

Tarps, tarpstop

Or, msg me and ill cut you a deal on a ton of loot sitting in my garage (im not far away, just south of indianapolis) (i currently have enough to outfit my truck for the next 10 years except for tarps)

MAY even have a spare open headache rack for the chains/binders

 

I don't have one. If I did, I would do exactly that. The wear on the front axle tires is huge! I definitely avoid, as best I can, jack knifes of more than 45°.

 

Or you can do mine.

12 - 40ft straps
12 - 12ft chains
12 - binders

Take no loads that require edge protection or tarps.
