I recently pulled two largeish 20k lbs fork lifts and I was on the fence about using the lift points, but figured my hook throats weren't big enough, and I only really noticed after it was tied down. I used the side shuttling cage on both sides but was not super happy with pulling against the bolts holding the bottom rail together. Next time I'll likely use the binders hooked right to the lift points. It rode fine, but it's good to always keep thinking about a better way.

Securement up high like that does a better job anchoring loads anyway. Using cross chains down low, ie a container, is a very poor securement method because it provides very little down pressure.PoleCrusher, cke, Farmtractor9900 and 2 others Thank this. -

This looked fairly secure going down the road, but I'm pretty sure the legality is an issue. If you can't see it, the chain comes off the rub rail, down the center of the duals of both axles and back down to the rub rail. The front was fine, the chain off the frame on each side, with its own binder
