Legal Question

You mean too tell me all those tarp straps I just put on this 60k exc. are not legal tie down for it?
I used 45 of those 21" ones. hook to the inside of the track and to the cut outs on my lowboy.
Even got the some pulling foward and back.

 

Exactly....I can't remember where I read it but it said something like "at no time will bungees or tarp straps be used as securement devices."

 

Uh huh....Well being that you used 45 of them I'm assuming you did the math on the WLL? LOL!

 

Huh? what is that. WLL..

 

Hey at least its been a few weeks since the strap inside or outside the rub rail argument has popped up in here.

 

I had a driver two years ago in Houston get a load securement ticket for 4x4s being strapped on the deck with bungee cords, he said if it don't have a load rating (will) it's not a load securing device.

 

If 4x4's are load securement tools

and bungee cords are load securement tools


then you don't need WLL to secure them.

Otherwise you would need an adequate WLL to secure your bungee cords.

 

Tell the cop yer bungees are 10lbs/bungee and you can prove it !

If he asks how, tell him to lie down on the trailer and secure him with one bungee/10 lbs. If he can't get loose that proves it !

 

You are wrong
