I always put a twist on both ends. But I would advise putting all ratchets on passenger side. If you get in a pickle and you need to pull over to adjust ratchets you are out of the road way and hopefully wont get hit.

It's called a rub rail for a reason,to protect chains an straps,straps go on the inside if the rub rails,if u were to rub up against anything u would bust every strap,2nd u don't put all the binders on same side the end straps have ratchets on same side center strap rachets go on other side or all the pulling stress from straps is all pulling to the ratchet side,so if their staggered it pulls evenly straight down,,

Chain binder goes on rear in the center for even pull

I just did a container a couple weeks ago. You should see the video in a few months lol

Do you have to use chains?

I always put the ratchets on the driver's side because then I can see them if something happens on the road but like you said we all do things are own way

Leave more slack in the front/ rear chains before applying the binder. If that would slide the least big it will tighten the chain and you won't get it off the load

Hey Noah

How do you secure 2 20ft containers on a 40ft flatbed? Just use chains on both ends since you can't access the center points on the containers and strap it down?

@TruckandTravel

3 жыл бұрын

Should be able to use chains in the center. I over do stuff. I think you could get away with 1 chain and 2 straps per container. If you are using a pickup truck, these containers will get your transmission hotter. I've noticed the tall items work my truck harder then if it was flat and heavier. Be safe, you got this.

if you need a little more leverage you could gently use a cheater bar on those ratchet straps or tuck the strap through the handle hole and pry up on the strap with your shoulder, nice video

Thank you sergio ramos

Hi guys we are new to the scene here in AZ.... Hauled about 100 of them now... What's DOT specs on strap spacing and width? We've been using (5) 4" winched down ...2 closer up front...then every 10' till the rear... Is it regulation to chain the rear up? Also....what's the minimal width straps allowed 2"-? TIA!!!

How do you find these container loads? I see them driving down the road all the time when I'm in my semi. Looks like an interesting hot shot business.

Getting sideswipe with the straps on the outside of the rub rail can totally unsecure your load. Thats why you keep them on the inside bro

@williekaminski3705

And the straps are exposed for the entire height of the load. A sideswipe could tear a strap anywhere, not just at the rubrail. Strap outside the rubrail is not against the rules.

Not sure about where you are, in Australia the ratchets dont count as part of the load, so they can sit outside, not way out, but if they sit outside the trailer they are not considered part of the load... if the handle fell down and stuck out heaps, then thats a fine.... Australia has thousands of dollars in fines, its crazy.... I think the truckers are honking at your partner as she is very attractive, just saying

You'll lucky having flat deck the entire length like that ... with mega ramps or the smaller ramps ... chaining that rear ain't as easy 😦
