Can I strap my spillkit on catwalk with bungie cords?

Your right. It is pretty much subjective, and depends on the mood of the Officer. I am sure they could get you for this type of stuff, if they wanted too.

 

so in both cases...the OP question and my related question, we should be using like 1" ratchet straps?

 

I would, to be safe.

 

I had carried a milk crate on the catwalk with nothing more than bungie cords, in full view and never had anyone say zip for years. Fast forward to one day I watched one fall off a truck, went to harbor freight and bought a four pack of mini ratchet straps.

so if you MUST have a WLL to secure something to the truck...

Why can you secure your tarp to a truck with bungees?

 

Question I cannot answer myself, but will add that many a timber is secured in the landing gear web on flatbeds. I also went to straps to keep them secured, I never had one fall out myself but do not want a hassle from the castle.

 

a timber is secured in the landing gear web on flatbedsFollowing another flatbedder who Had 1 fall off when bungie broke and come back through my the passenger windshield a few years ago.

Thing was it was 1 of my own trucks , guy had just started 2 weeks before .

 

Just one of those things that make you wonder if the PTB really "think" all their rules through.

 

Kinda like this?
