More than one chain on a D-ring?

Then why do trailers have tags with the ratings of their securement points? I asked this a while back, when I was inquiring about grade 80+ chains. No point on a flat/step if the trailers spools/pockets are only rated to 5500 or so. Or are you referring to the equipment's securement point?
I have a mind like yours, devil's advocate.
This is also why I asked about large vehicles on a stepdeck. If you have 4 tie down holes on a 45k wheel loader, there seems to be no way you possibly secure it with 4 chain points on the deck rated at 5-6k. You almost have to use a shackle and double up.

 

I’d think so.
Ie you tie a couple units of concrete forms onto a flatbed truck, put the truck onto your lowboy: you secure the truck to the lowboy, but the forms are already tied on. I’d think that’d be fine to a tolerant, living-in-reality enforcement officer.

 

What's that? Lol....

 

Idk I’ll let you know if I ever meet one.

 

I looked and the WLL on my D-rings is 15,666. I could put two G70 3/8" on them and relative to the chain still be 2,466 lb below the limit of the ring.

 

Trailers have a rating so that you can safely secure a load but they are not required to be rated and if the tag is missing or covers up then the DOT can’t consider the rating. We were talking about DOT not practical securement.

 

Excellent example

 

I always wondered that, because my trailer is missing the tag. Would be nice if it was mandatory from the manufacturer. That would be a purposeful law.

 

If it was on there in the first place call the manufacturer and get a new sticker.

 

Talked to 2 dealers, neither had any information. I was told trailers arent like trucks. They cant input the last 6 and see all the information
