Help a new flatbedder out

If you dont find anyone here with some used swag, he could buy new at Farm & Fleet.

Grade 70 5/16 chains 20 ft long with 2 hooks are about $45 ea.

Binders are about $26 ea

Tri city tarps in granite city Il is at that or slightly cheaper, plus they make about any custom tarp you could want in various colors.

 

Just checked Lowe's today, they have Grade 70 5/16 chains 20' Long with hooks for $34 I think the 3/8 chains were $39. I know for a fact none of them were $40

 

I did not notice if they had 1/2" I just checked online & didn't see it either

 

Why do you need 1/2" chains??? Way overkill..... Heck I've got 12 3/8" chains and I barely use them. I'm going to stock up on 5/16" now since I don't run heavy machinery anymore and they are just fine to run on plate steel and beams. Plus I got the 3/8 if I need it.

 

www.tarpstop.com has good deals on chains. Cheaper than Lowe's by a few bucks, but after shipping it would probably be a wash..

 

wife and I have been going slow on things and step is where we are headed.

Looking to pick up a lot of the "accessory" items in the meantime.


found this while having an "oooh shiney" moment.

Bill, if you buy them from Tarp Stop just let me know. I can pick them up and bring em to ya. Save u shipping, and I'll hook u up at Tri City if need be. Just let me know

 

Don't waste your money on 1/2". Unless your trailer has securement points rated higher than the WLL of 3/8 chains your just carrying extra weight.
