    The end of where a hydraulic whatever stops moving because she just don't go no more - hit the stops, cylinder is completely closed or open. I'm not always good with proper or common terms since I'm just a redneck that's found out a lot of "what-not-to-do's", just drilled in my head from an early age from dad to never rely on hydraulics to keep something from moving.

    From the label,
    Don't hook to it but go thru it.
    There should be a second hole or it should be open on 1 side.

    I'm not sure why the 1 chain, 2 binders is such a sticking point for so many people, but you're not alone in the fact that most are incorrect.

    Here's an example of one I just did:

    Humvee's make it easy with the labeled d rings right out there in your face, but the concept is the same for anything you can run a chain through. Slack should always be in the middle. Look at your chain and imagine taking bolt cutters to the middle of it - will both sides still be tight?

    We put belly straps on every stack, tried a couple chokers and that didn't work out very well.

    How about a couple off handstraps on that top bundle on the first pack?
    Just around that bundle,not secured to the trailer.

    Makes sense. I know I've added 2" straps to a few loads mid travels after I had a chance to think about what could go wrong. You can also drive yourself crazy with what-ifs too. I mean how many loads could go sideways if one of our straps broke?
