Is this ok? (chaining)

Bueno?




The cross chaining definately makes sense, my question is this. On the equipment I ran the last couple days, their anchor points would make it akward as crap to cross chain. Like the anchor points are mor to the side then in front or back, so the chain would be rubbing against the tractor. What would you do in a situation like that?


Thx for all the help fam!

 

This is EXACTLY how I was taught when I hauled two water trucks a while ago. I made the loop around the axles and hooked the snap binders to the stake pocket. Actually still have the pics.



My issue with that was that it was akward as crap to use the snap binders to connect to the trailer, I was not a fan.

 

I'm guessing cause the anchor points are far enough away from the side of the trailer? Like I said before, I was worried if I tried to cross chain it would be runlbbing up against everything and I didn't like that idea.

That spot on the outrigger is actually where the anchor point is (just behind it out of sight) There were hydraulic lines in the way though so I had to run it through and around to make sure I didnt smash anything.

Where would you have grabbed onto it at?

 

Ok I still have a major question about the WLL when you use one chain and 2 snap binders to create 2 seperate tiedown points. Where do you pull the WLL from? I don't understand how 2x chains rated at 6600 (or whatever they are) somehow are acceptable for a machine weighing in at 16k? Do you count the WLL for each tiedown point, so like 6600 on each tiedown?
