Edit: 4,700 # rating. -
I would have 6 at least. Cross two in front to stop forward movement. Two middle an two rear crossed as well.

What you've got will hold it just fine, IMO, but when you have a tiedown that's only attached to one side, its WLL is half what it is when it's tied to both sides-in other words, you only have 9400# of securement on it now. To make the math easier, I just figure I have to meet the full weight of the load with my securement vs. the usual half the weight. In your case, if you can find a place to get a 4" strap that's marked at 5,400 WLL across the base without crushing anything, you'll be 100% legal.

I'm not following you Josh. Each chain is 4,700, binders are 5,400 and each pipe spool is 7,700 or stake pocket is 5,400.
Seems to me each of the 4 tie downs had a value of at least 4,700#. -
SHC Thanks this.

That is weird because a weak chain link is a weak link no matter how the chain is used. Hooking both ends to the trailer wont make it harder for a link to break then if it was just one end to the trailer the other to the object on the trailer.

milskired Thanks this.

Yeah I know I was just thinking about it in my head. I usually just used more securement then needed.
