True, there's only 2 of those actually being used in service today. The rest are show peices.

I haul a lot of thes coils and on yours I would have used 2 more chains horseshoe'd, 6 total 3 straps also and skipped the trip chain.On the one loaded suicide I normally use 7 chains, 3 pulling down as much as possible 2 to the front and 2 to the rear. I also use 3/8 chains. But that's just me.Last edited: Aug 17, 2016

Is much rather use 3/8 chains, but i can only use afar I'm given to do the job
-
If I were using 5/16 chains and only used 4 on a 42000 lb coil I would definitely feel uncomfortable. My ahole would be puckered the entire trip. And if one of my drivers pulled in like that I would have a fit.

Where did i say i only used 4 chains? I said i used 2 sets of x chains and 2 horseshoe chains, with 3 to 4 straps over the top. That's a total of 6 chains and over 42,000 in securement
-
Gotcha, misread 2 sets. Sorry
-
How are attached to the frame?
Bolted? -
Yes bolted or clamped.
