Hey brother I am trying to start in the flat bed business. I have a reefer now. I'd like to buy a flat bed. What do you recommend me to get? Is the step deck really a lot better than regular flat bed trailers? Of so,Please tell me why,I want to learn and whatever you can tell me helps. Thank you in advance, God bless you brother.
I usally just carry a couple of old tyre to sit the pad foot rollers on,as well it's good for smooth drums as well stops Steele on Steele effect.or as old mate said in the comments a couple of pieces of half inch rubber mats.
Randee, It looks like those are all direct hook ups to the roller. If so, wouldn't the WLL of your 5/16 chain be reduced by half (2,350 lb WLL)? 8 X 2,350 = 18,800 of Securement for a 42,000 load? I probably misunderstood what all your Securement was or, I hope I did. Like your videos, keep them coming.
Also not knocking your securement methods just going to recite the law. When carrying an articulated vehicle that is Not locked with a pin you shall treat each section as a separate piece of equipment.
+Daniel Walling my trailer is not rated to support half inch..only rated for 5,000 at all tie down points..and I only have 5/16 inch chains..3/8 would help with less being used but it doesn't take long at all..I throw them on pretty fast and on my way
+Tommy Lund it didn't..crappy place used 1 big forklift and on other side a little ass sky track..barely lifted enough for me to drive out from under before they dropped it on my trailer
Over worked yourself...1 chain on each corner plus 1 chain on each side..that 6 chains...I hauled many of these for a well knoe equipment rental company and you wY over did it..
