    It actually came straight from XL that way, just how they ordered it. Bolts in the stakes.

    I use a cordless impact. Brr brr flip.

    That being said they also make the hard signs at the yard. They just paint a board black and apply the sticker, it's reflective. There is a place you can order it from.

    And they mount them somewhat similar to that or kind of how the one is on my front bumper. Just depends on the equipment.

    Just got two rods where the tow hooks go. Two snap rings and done. IMG_20220525_164619_HDR~2.jpg

    Been meaning to put the little flag holders back on it. Had them on the last one. But it met an untimely demise in a pile of snow.

    Here's a close up of the back.i can get a picture sometime.

    Just 1 chain . 2 binders. Hook end is wrapped around inside the metal articulation piece and then binder to the deck for each side. Same with front and back. So 6 different securement points with 3 chains total. Roughly 30k loader. Rode good the whole 1500 miles can't ask for much more

    Looks like you might have an issue like I do. All my guys are running around with a beacon on a stick for the back of the trailers in Quebec. They insist on the beacons being 1m off the road and the ones in the back of the low trailers don’t make it. We’re ok with the ones in the b-trains and hiboy, they’re high enough.

    Well that is the thing. The fleet does go to Canada and sometimes even that part. Specing out equipment for the entirety of North America is kind of the problem. Trying to make everyone happy.

    There is that to consider but there is also the fact that Tennessee's language says something to the effect of a strobe on the trailer specifically, kind of like that style.

    Right now I actually have them out because the built in trailer strobes are dead. And at the time I just didn't feel like unbolting the back plates and getting at that stuff. To sort it out.

    Majority of our trailers have those types of strobes on a pole thing. Most of the built in ones only on the latest batch.
