Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

And the single pack on top in the front.
Or use 2 handrachets just around the pack.

 

Tug Toy,i would go the extra mile for the stack at the front.

I know i'm playing devils advocate here.
The reason is i want young guns in flatbedding to stand back ,look at their loads and question themselves.
"did i do it right?"
"do i need to do extra?"

 

Then you didn't have 2 points secured.
You had 1 chain secured by 2 binders.

 

Strap it chain it till you run out of securement.

 

Hope this awfull drawing explains it .

 

Yup. They usually break at the crimp, especially if the guy doing the banding gets lazy or just doesn't care.

 

I'd be more interested in where you're tying to the equipment you're hauling. You can do a ton of expensive damage real quick if your chain or binder is in the wrong place.

 

I must be mistaken because I only have one binder on that one; on the front piece of machinery, however, I do indeed have two binders for 1 chain; some guy showed me that but I didn’t have enough binders to do it like that anymore

 

The problem was @farmerjohn64 secured the chain under the arm,effectively pushing up the arm.
His way..........the chain can loosen should the arm move.
Your way............no matter what the arm does,the chain stays tight.

 

With light machinery,it is sometimes better to use 4 straps vs 2 chains.
Or do a combo, 2 chains for downforce and 4 straps to stop forward,backward and sidewards movement.

Depends on what you have for securement,the weight off the load and where you can secure.
Learn to think out off the box.
Think "what did i do wrong".
"Where can the load move?"

And you will still do something off which you later will say: "how could i have been so stupid".
How do i know................because i have done it.
Secured something..............stepped back and said "####ing idiot,how could i have been so stupid".
All flatbedders have had moments like that.


Sorry for the hijack,guys.
