    Feels awkward. At times posting the same pictures. Most of us that have been here for awhile, we know how TTR works but then newbies don’t. posting in different sections, all about the samethimg trying to help them out without noticing every post regardless section, we all see it.

    Holds the pipe in place. We used to shrink wrap pallets of spent perforating guns so you could throw a strap over them and be gone.

    Well, this was a total #### show. Dude dropped my load.....twice. then stabbed it, once. So he had to remove the tubes he stabbed and replace them. Then, they left huge gaps between the columns. So, they all fell in on eachother. It's been a crap day. Ohhhh, and the tunes are just sitting in there. Hence the bit of fence. The tubes hit that and stop. Yeah.....that was my reaction too. And they made the fence/bulkhead 102" wide. So I couldn't run the chain through the rails. Guy behind me fence almost fell off. I seen him catch it and I ran over to help him. Good times.

    Just curious, so only take it as that, inquisitive. :) Couldn't you have run those chains toward the center of the load, thereby pulling the frame inward toward the load and downward where the binder was holding it?

    I'm not tracking.
    The whole load only weighs like 8k. Those tubes are empty. I can pick them up and put them over my shoulder.....ask me how I know....lol.

    as far as what they are....i dunno. The are empty hollow conduit. The place i picked up at is a 3d printing place. They printed the divider things and built the frames around them. I gave the guy a hard time about it. Because you cant slide the frames together. There is a tab in the sides they set in. Stupid. They are pretty light weight and flimsy too. I asked the guy why they built the fence so wide and he just shrugged his shoulders.

    I was thinking conduit, but the frames kinda make me wonder. What is so special about them that they need the frames, or is it some sort of system. Seems like a lot of production for conduit.

    I agree, it's pretty elaborate. However, it's just regular conduit. When I deliver, I will ask them what it's for.
