Load Securement Time

I have a special insert for the hooks underneath. If u dont have that , then have to use the rub rail. Or there might be an open area to the inside that is for the hooks... just dont hook the winch track because its not rated for securement and u can bend it, then u wont be able to slide ur winches anymore

 

When you wrap the strap for a choke, if you can offset the ends, you should not have a slack problem.
Example: on the right side, put the hook forward of a stake pocket, make the choke wrap, the winch end of the strap will go in behind the stake pocket on the other (left) side.

If you can’t off set the strap, when you wrap the strap around, the end you will tighten from (winch) needs to run under the stationary (hook) end. Going over that part pinches and locks down that section of strap.

 

Well looky who else is runnin a Fontaine, lol. Love these trailers.

 

The problem is that the straps grab onto the load and usually won't slide enough to tighten well.

 

Have rarely encountered that problem, when I have, usually a carpet strip or plastic corner takes care of the problem.
