X chains on coils

DOT has very specific rules for securement. Sorry I don't have my book handy to quote section.

 

Horseshoe pull would be used on a shotgun coil to prevent it from telescoping.

 

Same, along with blocks of lead and these big ### bags of sand. Only secured by soft wood 2x4 and maybe three nails if your lucky in each.

 

Ok where's the 1/2 WLL come in? Are they hooking the chain back to itself?

 

I know the rules just not familiar with horseshoe securement.

 

Ive hauled brass with a reefer at 60 degrees from Buffalo NY to Lonoke AR Remington Arms for conversion into Ammunition. It goes on the floor with bracing. The coils are not that big maybe a few feet at most. The Foundry knew how to secure them and do a good job.

Flatbed is a higher art form of trucking if you please pardon the expression. When something is secured and wrapped like a present there is no reason to haul same for inspection. Now if you had a rusted out beat up deck on wheels that should be retired long ago. Then yea grab it.

 

393.106 (d) (2)
(2) One-half the working load limit of each tiedown that is attached to an anchor point on the vehicle, passes through, over, or around the article of cargo, and is then attached to an anchor point on the same side of the vehicle.

A horseshoe on a shotgun coil is when you start on one side of the trailer, go through the center of the coil and go back to the same side of the trailer.

 

My first thought also!!!!!
