Tips and Tricks of flatbedding

What style of headache rack do you have. I'll take a pic of mine in a second.

 

Securing your flags to an over sized load when all you have is a tire to secure it to. I do not like using magnets, have lost too many of them.

 

Weird I have a heck of a time getting mine off of stuff.

 

There are alot of posts on how to tarp. How about removing the tarps. What are some tips on how to remove tarps with 8 foot drops on steel. I have thrown straps over the load and used carabiners to connect the triangle to the D rings and pulled the tarp off like a giant curtain.
Are there any other tricks or advice you could give on removing the tarps, thank you.

 

I usually just grab it from a corner, flick it to get some air under it and tug diagonally away from the opposite corner, then repeat as needed. My padding is usually strapped to the load so I don't need to worry about snagging on any edges. My straps are always under the tarp so I don't need to worry about tipping the load over pulling on the tarp.

 

the grab and t hook for auto haulers is 5/16 g70
the deere hook is 3/8 g80

if you go to the link above and look for
"Grade 70 Auto Hauling Chains With Grab Hook, R-Hook and Twisted T/J Combination Hook"
you will find the j hook along with the hooks for most autos.

 

I bungee a 5 lb barbell weight to tarp

 

Kinda feel like I'm resurrecting a dead thread...but...

are these the ones? I never even thought of them...I drove tow truck and used these all the time

 

No those are not t-j hooks. T-J hooks a small and usually have a ring or chain hook. These fit into the holes in frames on vehicles. I've seen them at Iowa 80.
I'll try and get a pic. Soon
