Tarp Rebar...? Why

Disruptive comments are annoying

 

Disruptive comments are the funniest.

 

Rebar is going to be only a few feet a at the most off the trailer more often then not usually a single layer. Also yes you'll have toy stand on it to roll the tarp out over the load. Maybe there is a better way?

 

most of your loads you have to stand on. wood, sheetrock, rebar, mulch, etc.

if you can, a forklift driver will be happy to throw your bundle on the load. all you gotta do is roll her out. and tie her down.
aothough, you probably won't find a forklift to help you out at the steel plants. but them loads are so short in height.

there are more and more women getting into flatbeds. if they can tarp. us old farts can do it too.

 

I think it would be a good idea to make the drive and check it out.

I would try to find out if the rebar is going to be longer then the trailer or what the loads will be like. If its not longer then the trailer tarping it is easy just get yourself some furniture blankets to put over the ends roll your tarps out and bungee them down.

As far as being dangerous rebar is going to be a low load. Not much danger involved.

 

Would this be a new venture into open deck work for you? Loads like rebar would be a good start. They are almost impossible to damage and are on the easy side of securement. Tarping is what it is. Most loads are easy but some take a little more imagination and time. My only struggle with tarping is having enough padding with me to keep my tarps from getting holes in them. Forget all the whining and crying you read on here about tarping. It is part of the game which at times sucks but not that big of a big deal.

 

easy side of securement. yet, too many trucks slice themselves up over improper securement.

not a difficult task, but not to be taken lightly either. one never knows when they're going to lock the brakes up. for whatever reason.
