    Unless we know the weight of the unit we don't know that its an incorrect way to secure. Tho personally I'd have preferred to pull back/forward instead of straight down.

    It’s as wide as the trailer and has decent size tires. It’s over 10,000.

    Easily over 10,000. They could move pretty easy with no forward or rearward pull of the chains. And who wraps the chains through the tie down points like that? Total hack job.

    Id have run the chain from one side straight through tie-down holes and then to other side... Use 2 binders and leave slack hang between the-down holes... 2 completely independent anchors with 1 chain.
     
    Diesel Dave, Lepton1 and cke Thank this.

    I don’t believe I would want to be the one in front of this load.
