This is what they are talking about...

 

Gotcha. I need to grab more of my chains this weekend. That looks slick.

The keen driver had an RGN and I was impressed with how many options he had to hook to. Inside the trailer rails and outside.

 

That one is a little heavier so I needed the full wll of the chains. That was before I got 1/2" chain on the truck.

 

But, although the DOT doesn't require attachment points to be rated, on a step I would feel silly attaching a 1/2" chain to an aluminum stake pocket and guessing it's rated as high as a 1/2" chain.

That, to me, is the stumbling block of securing equipment on an aluminum flat/step, once you get heavier. Not saying it wouldn't be legal...but common sense says it doesn't work.

 

Yeah, I pulled a run most of the time.

 

I agree the ratings of the attachment points not being rated high enough. That's always been my problem with hauling on a step deck the stake pockets and side rails are no where as strong as a low boy. We used to haul 2250 houses on them and I chained way more than on my low boy.

 

Thanks, gents, for the advice

 

Delivered a baler to a farm in northern Maine last week..

 

When you said "baler" and "farm" I had something entirely different in mind.
