How many Straps, Chains,Binders?

I haul mostly equipment and well head testing stuff. I started with [8] 3/8 20' chains and 16 ratchet binders. After dragging those stinkin' chains around and having to deal with all the extra, I cut 4 of them in half and it makes it alot easier.

So that's:

[8] 10' 3/8 chains with a hook on one end
(4) 20' 3/8 chains with a hook on both ends
(16) 3/8-1/2 ratchet binders
(6) 3" ratchet binders

Depends on the size of the woman and the bedposts..... Tarps are handy at 2am....

 

Thanks for the info. I know they haul some sort of lumber over in the Aliquippa Industrial park and deal with ESM.

Misc. Old tarp cut into 2'x10' strips to place under tarps when hauling sharp, jagged things.

Tractor has a rotating beacon.

 

I have a 53 ft step deck (with sliding spread) with 24 sliding winches (12 on each side)

I drive all over the country hauling a variety of things so here's what I carry for securement

24 - 4 inch straps (Kinedyne and Ancra brands are the best, IMO)

10 - 2 inch ratchet straps (I use Ancra)

12 - chains (stay away from made in China)

12 - binders (4 ratchet and 8 snap) Stay away from made in China

48 - corner protectors

100 - 21 inch bungees (USA made are the toughest)

 

Where is a good place for USA made chains and binders?

 

Yeah trim board from aliquippa.

 

This is a tough find sometimes but internet is best source.
