Under pcs it says 4. I would guess that's pieces... so you may be getting 4 little coils.Bean Jr., singlescrewshaker, BackwoodsGA and 2 others Thank this.

If you're hauling them suicide, you can't cross them thru the eye. Some idiot made that illegal...Lostkeys, Bean Jr., singlescrewshaker and 2 others Thank this.

This is for a SINGLE coil, loaded suicide.
This is a the methodology I use. Some may disagree with the number and items used. Don’t care.
Starting at the load center for the trailer,
Place enough friction mats to over the area of the coil racks will occupy.
Place coil racks so the dunnage runs from side to side. For coil racks, I use 1 rack for each 8000 lbs of coil, with a minimum of 2. Space the racks evenly across the area the coil will rest. If a 60 inch coil, put one rack in the center of the trailer, then one rack about 28 inches left and another 28 inches to the right of that center rack. Fill in the open areas with the rest of the racks. Set your dunnage. Next place your coil pad strips, they should be about even with the coil racks.
your now ready to set the coil.
While waiting, you can set up your chains and edge protection along the sides of the trailer.Last edited: Jul 15, 2020

Yeah that part was confusing, they’ll definitely be little
-
If you're loading them suicide and they're all the same weight, or reasonably close, put one dead on your 'x', one just in front of that, then the other two right behind. Keep them tight to each other and one tarp will cover them all.SmallPackage, singlescrewshaker, Coffey and 1 other person Thank this.

I called, “4 horizontal coils”
-
See the post about 4 pcs.
If they are on skids, that changes things.
If the are lay down (not skidded) then the method for a single coil still applies, you just have to do that for each coil and adjust the spacing to fit them on.Bean Jr., Coffey, farmerjohn64 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Those will be lay down, so you will need to set up for 4 coils.Coffey and farmerjohn64 Thank this.

These are all the mats I’ve got, only have 8
