Steel Securement Info Page with Illustrations

Found this website the other day. Has lots of good info for new drivers on securing coils, rods and pipe. Just click on the "driver support" tab up top and scroll down to "securement"

The place I pull skidded coils out of required we use chains and steel edge guards. I was going to just throw 2 straps a coil and they told me NO.

But you are correct, straps make more sense to me due to the thin material.

 

I've been to other places that require you ONLY use straps on skidded coils so i guess each one is different??? the place I was hauling out of told me that most guys just toss 1 chain on each coil and then use a strap as well. I just used 2 chains criss-crossed and ran with it. The material was very thin tho and the coils only weighed 6,000# each.

Guess one day I will learn it all

 

Would you not secure it the same way as coiled rod??? Method 1
