List of chains and equipment for heavy haul

I wasn’t going to bother.

 

I wouldn't bother either.

 

What size trailer do you have ? I'm looking at a few different ones problem is they all use different numbers lol .

 

I pull a xl specialized hdg. It has a 26 foot well. 110000 in 16 ft concentrated load. 53 footer.Decent trailer.

 

Looking at getting a 14 single axel booster for it.

 

Is it rated for a booster?

 

48000 pound excavator

 

i bought a 40T RGN starting to rig it now

i was going to go with all 3/8 stuff but then i noticed the 3/8 ratchet binders are actually 5/16-3/8 so they are no better than 5/16 chain

what does everyone think about grab vs slip hooks

does anyone have D d rings on the inside of the main beam in the open area of the trailer
seems that'd be handy

 

The locking pins for articulated equipment usually gets lost within the first 5 years. lol.

 

If you want to run 3/8 chain get the 3/8-1/2 binders. At least get the full rating of the 3/8” chain.

If I were setting up a 40 ton trailer and was going to leave the chains on the trailer I wouldn’t mess with to many 3/8” chains. Throwing 8 3/8” chains on a wheel loader because your gear is undersized is for the birds.
