I am a local driver with pretty much one in-city route but occasionally have to travel(of course) but a couple days ago a driver asked me to hang on to his spare acid hose. This makes sense as I spot all the trailers in a certain area. My question is regarding securing of the hose on my catwalk as I have no hose rack. Presently I have it on the deck with 2 plastic ties and 3 bungees. Any advice would be nice as a ticket at the scale house would be undesirable. Thanks
He's right, you can carry a hose on the deck but bungees are out..... unsecured load. Got to be straps....2 will do. Same anywhere else except hose tubes.
I would run 2 2" straps. Besure to go over one side and under the other then do the same from the otherside over then under. I've tried doing such with a tire and rim and no matter how tight I crancked the strap it would still tend to work loose and slide out so I ran 2 4" straps over each side, through the center of the rim and out on the underside which made sure it wouldn't be able to slide side to side either. Small things like that tend to work their way free.
