Should be how to unload them quickly and hands free. Some folks on here say flatbedding can never be down automanous. This proves them wrong. Lol.
Chinatown Thanks this. -
Alrighty then

Never use straps for a suicide coil, pretty good way to die; your question didn’t address how they’re loaded, whether it’s “suicide,” “eye to the sky,” or “shotgun.” I’ve actually never hauled one loaded shotgun lol think people just been trying to take me out, make that thing roll up the truck
-
Not a single piece of securement through the eye at all?
-
Normally doesn’t the shipper band them to prevent that

Looked like it was in Germany or someplace like that. Maybe thats a new way of laying down some new guard rail. Spools off of truck than another crew is behind it nailing it up.
