Hauling Super Sacks

I only hauled one load of them but I just x'ed straps across the front and back and they rode very well once they settled.

 

where you getting them? I haul the #### out of super sacks and if I'm loading a trailer for myself and know im delivering it I just throw 1 strap over each set of two.

If I'm loading one for other people I'll toss 2 straps on the front two and then 1 strap over each set of 2 the whole way back the trailer, as said the product settles and youll need to check your straps, especially the ones on your spread they seem to settle the most due to the bouncing.

Super sacks ride great, you could probably haul them without straps and not have one fall off, tarping them should be pretty gravy, just remeber your tarp straps will tear into the sacks and open them if you have the hook pointed into the sack (on the inside tarp straps).

 

i have hauled beans in.super sacks ilon vans and flats. they dont move around much if your a decent driver. dont tighten the straps too much to begin with and take up the slack as they settle.

 

You can tighten the crap out of them !!
If you ##### foot around it the material will shift and you'll have to anyway.
I always belly loaded them. Better ride.

 

i always found it worked better for.me to not really crank them down.untill they settled a bit but to each their own. i actually have very little flatbed experience. i spent a season hauling them for a friends dad.

 

If you have to tarp the sacks, I would belly load them instead of split load them because it will be easier to tarp.

 

lol right, not a flat spot or straight line in that state

 

crank em down I say, you'll be able to get a couple clicks tighter on them everytime you stop anyway

 

I have hauled these on several occasions. I always tarp first then put my straps on. I put the 1/4 twist on all my straps because these babies will get loose quick once you hit the bumps and you dont want straps flapping in the wind. Check them often at first and then once they "settle in" they should be good to go. I am pretty sure you dont drive like a madman so they wont move. If ya really want to get crazy then do the cross strap thing or put a 4x4 in front and back with a strap holding it down. I have thought about using v-boards on them or just a 4x4 on top but have never tried it.

 

Hauled a bunch of them and never had a problem. Double strapped the front one and single the middles. The advice about wrapping several would probably work but I never had to do it.
