Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

I think he entered into a manufacturing deal or something, they got at the company store is that what they go for there?

 

I pull a step. I own 2 of them actually. And if you want to save the $40. I never wrap a strap around the stake pocket the sharp edges cut straps. But Ancra brand straps have a narrower hook. That fits through a stake pocket. And if you use a 3" Ancra strap it works perfect. I just always use 2" straps. That I've turned the extensions backwards do there is no need to wrap around a stake pocket. And I double them up. Where 1 4" strap can be used. I just double up 2 inch one pulling one way one pulling another.

 

I do kind of the same thing now. I took a file to the bottom edge of my stake pockets to get rid of the sharp edge.

 

I just bought a couple of those blankets at the Joplin petro and they're super nice, thanks for heads up, super thick though not sure how you managed to store six of them lol.

 

Just get a couple of straps with the chain ends since you will only need a few.

Luckily I have 3 full size tool boxes on my trailer.

 

Can you hook them like this? The ring or chain wouldn't touch the insulation.
