    This load wasn't hazmat and not on pump offload. If it was Air, I would of used Velcro straps. (Not required by company, but on air offloads, I feel more comfortable strapping the camlocks due to the pressure in the hoses.)

    Thats is quite the setup. I have the velcro straps for my 4" dry bulk hoses and the blue and red plastic clips for my 2" and 3" chemical hoses. Tanker yankering is quite the adventure some times.

    One the easiest way to lock down cam lock ears is, on a 2" hose use a 3" cam lock gasket, on a 3" hose use a 4" cam lock gasket.

    I would have more faith in a zip tie pulled snug versus a velcro strap. Even 200 mph tape would be stronger albeit a tad messing upon disassembly.
