Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Lucky Friday, took one Construction Hoist South and brought another one back up North.

 

Monday’s Pre-load.

 

I'm sure it is, I just meant to prevent foward/backward, I'd have put 'A' pulls front and back. As for the type of freight, I hauled something similar once, and got chewed out by some guy acting like a boss because I was spacing them out instead of more like yours...told the guy, even if he was correct, he just lost my attention with his acting like he was my boss. Asked someone else to explain what he was talking about and got a polite explanation. So I'm not knocking your securement, just projecting my OCD.

 

Here ya go @cke finally had to tarp. It just happened to be 10 wide and 11 tall and open on the top...
Tarped it in my yard. Now for a cold one and some sleep.

 

Cnc machines have to be the worst thing to tarp. Basically a pile of knives with a big open pit on top to fall into. Even worse when they are used and not cleaned. Then it's a pile of greasy knives. Also brokers love to book them as 1 piece and only give dims for the main unit. Then you show up and it's another 20ft of conveyors and other miscellaneous parts.

I refuse to haul them any more. New in a crate sure but no more tarping them.

You did nice with that one though. The big felt tarp helps a ton I'm sure.

 

Not sure what is meant by A pulls but maybe it is what we call 'a cross', front and back. Especially in the old days of roping a rope from each side, set back a little, as in @Kyle G. 's picture, but instead of straight across the front as he has done (doesn't need to as he has handy hooks there), it would go over the corner and then backwards at the bottom of the other side.
At the rear, the same thing and, if there was any rope left over (and we used very long ropes unlike the Aussies who use multiple short ones) it was fed up from a bottom corner through the middle of the cross and then back down and tightened again. This was called a 'Dundee' or 'Scotch' cross.
All lost in the mists of time now and totally unknown to all but the oldest of old fogies.

 

Looks pretty good. That kind of stuff is a lot of work.

 

Yeah, I called them the wrong thing, I actually meant a 'V' pull, for those beams, but the concept is similar. I was referring to something across the front like the one that Kyle G posted, which I mistakenly referred to as 'A' pull. Must be this vitamin D deficiency I have...starting to get schizoid.
Any way, like these pics, but more like Kyle G's. It's just something across front and back to try to stop momentum from starting in either direction. These were from 2013 on some concrete forms:

 

I see what you mean, ours were somewhat different though, but I am struggling to find a photo of them. Mainly because so much freight on otherwise flatbeds these days is hidden from view inside curtainsiders and strapped inside. Well, should be by law, but I suspect many rely on just the curtains and the back doors for restraint. What the eye doesn't see etc..
