What are the weight laws.

 

S

Spreads over 6' are considered one axle in the western 4 provinces in Canada. The are fine out east. Something to do with too many guys dumping the rear axle In the turns and tearing up the roads. That's how the story was told to me.

 

The little dog chain on end and the 5/16 wll stamp. Has to be minimum 3/8.

 

So your saying 5/16 chain isn't allowed in Canada ?

 

Isnt recognized. Kinda like the 10'2 spread.

 

IIRC 20,000 for the set, 10K each.

Absolutely useless for most loads.

 

This is not correct. The only time 5/16 cannot be used is in the following two cases (as well as all tiedowns must have a marked WLL):

National Safety Code for Motor Carriers
Standard 10: Cargo Securement

PART 2 - SPECIFIC SECUREMENT REQUIREMENTS BY CARGO TYPE

Division 5 - Concrete Pipe

80 Tiedowns for securing layers of small concrete pipes

(3) Where each pipe is not secured individually with a tiedown

(a) one 1.27 centimetre (1/2 inch) diameter chain or wire rope or two 0.95 centimetre (3/8 inch) diameter chains or wire ropes shall be placed lengthwise over the group of pipes...
​

Division 7 - Vehicles as Cargo

89 Heavy vehicles

(4) Despite section 22, a heavy vehicle with crawler tracks or wheels shall be restrained against moving sideways, forward, rearward and vertically by at least 4 tiedowns,

(a) each with a working load limit of at least 2 268 kilograms
​

“heavy vehicle” means

(i) a vehicle that weighs more than 4 500 kilograms, or
(ii) equipment or machinery that operates on wheels or tracks and weighs more than 4 500 kilograms;​
