Beam question loading ?

So i take it that your trailer is a 102? And that that one beam wont fit on the side because youll be "oversize"? Lay the beam over on its side and chain the hell out of them

 

What about "nesting" the beams closer together?

 

Put the beams' flanges, one up one down one up one down....so the webs are close together.

 

I agree nesting would have been both tighter and one row. I have hauled some wide flange beams I nested flange down. Load two beams far enough to drop one in the middle and close up, rinse, repeat.

I would have laid that top beam down. Nesting is a risk.

Toss every chain on everything. I hate to be picky but I bet that one lonely chain way up there near middle of the beam might become a pivot or weeble wooble on bad roads.

 

Could have been set so as to make the load one layer.
Most have called it nesting. Offsetting the flange would allow them to be tighter together.

Squeeze in 3 or 4 places with a choke and finish the securement.
