heavy equipment tires

I have criss-crossed them and had no problems. I may of added 1 strap straight across on the back stack just to be sure.

 

I've done them straight across on a trailer with fixed winches that made x strapping difficult or impossible. It works ok so long as the straps sit in the treads where they can't move and come loose.

X strapping is good too.

 

If the tread is large enough to hold the straps you could just strap straight and call it good

Whatever you want to do, as long as your straps stay in place it should be good.

 

I've done them on my step once. I criss crossed the first 3 tires using my step as a bulkhead,.. then criss crossed the last one with a 3rd single across the middle,.. side to side. Over kill probably,.. but not having done them before and not wanting to have any problems I felt that was the safest way.

Looking for a picture of that load now. Not sure if I have it with me here on my laptop,.. I think that one might be on my home computer.

With the smaller ones I use 3 straps per set. One straight across the center the other two criss crossed. The bigger ones will be 4 on bottom and 3 on top centered where two tires meet below. I'll try to illustrate

X represents the center of the tire.
The way I did the 11 wides was to put one strap straight across before and after the center line of each lower level and the criss cross the top level

 

my little drawing is not showing up correctly the X at the top are supposed to be in different locations. I can't find my 11 wide pics but here are the smaller ones





Here's how it should look

 

Well if that doesn't work I have another way. This picture is the very first time I did them so I just did it on the fly and then changed the technique for the times after that. All in all as long as you secure them as close to the widest point of the tire as possible you should be good. Good luck
