65k, 4 chains, good to go

My outfit here just bought an 815 compactor in Dallas. Maybe you could haul it out? That would be a good pic, you loading a compactor in shorts & flipflops.

 

Sure

And perhaps a wife beater tank top?

 

Only if it’s ripped in several places n has various food and or bodily function stains on it

 

Can Do!

in hindsight, I should have said "how Not to drink whiskey " Also, properly would be with a small glass?

 

We are a ypung company. Consequently we dont leave much of anything to chance. 60k load gets 4 - 3/8 chains and 4 1/2". If its got a bucket /attachment it gets an additional ratchet strap or binder. Last thing I / we need is a conversation, or a ticket with CHP or DOT.

We dont make the rules, we just get fined for them.

 

I own this forklift, which weighs roughly 61k. I would like to know how to properly secure it with 3/8 inch chains. I am not going to say how I do it because a) I do not want to get flamed and b) I want to hear your own suggestions. I made perhaps 20 or so trips with it and never was stopped, but I want to do it properly and safely. I am in IL.

 

More pics from different angles would help. I would prefer 1/2" chains to start with.
