I finally learned how to secure coils

No need for edge protecters either... sharp corners of metal never like to slice through anything

 

There is something vital that is missing here. WHERE THE HELL IS THE DUCT TAPE?

 

While I rarely load them anymore, I used to get these stainless coils that are so thin you'd think it was foil.
absolutely no chains allowed on them.

 

Didn't the stainless require tarps?
Mine always did.
Most part I won't haul any coils. Unless I'm desperate for a load.
But I've found it's quicker to run empty to a better load.

 

Looks like three coils banded together, square lumber, no friction mat. Does look like there is carpet or similar for edge protection. That would still make me nervous.

The attached pic is three coils banded together...

 

The loads did require tarps. the product was also wraped, but they wanted tarps and paid for it. the loads paid good and put me back in good lane for better loads, so it was ok. Paid my dues hauling them, now it is only if I want or have a real need to take one to get somewhere. other than those reasons, don't touch them.

 

NOPE. NOPE. And NO.

Steel chain through the eye. Always.

Watch those straps get cut proper and that coil is going to kill a family next to you.

 

I do not see anything holding the dunnage in place.

 

I never can tell with coil cradles....
