Been driving a truck for 10 years but just started flat bedding. I’m actually picking up one of these Monday and this video made me understand how it’s done. Thanks!
🧐Looks like the best way to do it!👍 A secured load can prevent a pull over from DOT. They pull people over if they spot one thing wrong. Working brakes and trailer lights also extremely important!
@@KETO_DIET You can cross chain, you just have to make sure they don’t touch. As you’re going down the road for miles and miles, the bouncing creates friction. And next thing you know your chains break.
DOT Will pull you over if they see chains touching, as well as loose chain hanging without bungee cords. And can be really picky and get you if the hook from the binder is on the weld side of the link.
Not a problem at all specs for the trailer are Cargo Weight (the amount of weight that can be hauled on the trailer) - 10,370 lbs (4,703 kg) GVW (total trailer weight) - 14,000 lbs (6,350 kg) Axles 2 - 7,000 lbs capacity with torsion suspension (no leaf springs makes smoother ride and less wear parts and ride height is lower) Measurement Between Fenders - 83" (6' 11") Deck Length - 240" (20') Hitch Size - 2-5/16" Plug Type - 7 blade RV Skid Steer weight 6593 lb
4 seperate tie downs. All 4 required. This video is actually NOT a good demonstration of how to hook up the chains. Chains under tension that are touching are an issue.
Definitely not correct way, vdot non approved and a skid steer in Va with an attachment requirement is 5 points, grab handles are not approved tie down points
