3:20 mark shows cross chains touching, a DOT infraction. Chains must have protection to prevent rubbing. 5:20 as well

A lot of people don’t know your binder technically has is max rated load capability when the threads are 1” from bottoming out. If they are sticking way out on the treads still maybe even half way (but tight)a dot officer can get you for improperly secured load.

Straight chain pulls are more effective and safer than crossing chain tie downs !

very good video, very informative, about the subject.

WE ARE ALL VERY LUCKY THAT SWIFT DOES NOT HAUL HEAVY EQUIPMENT. !!!!

Oil your binders and they wont be so hard to work. I also don't like to run my binders all the way out, especially on something really heavy. The more threads you have in your binder once you're done tightening the better.

When ever I cross chains I always put a plastic pallet in between to stop chains from rubbing.2x zippy ties to hold it on.

Great video well explained

What you are doing is something special and wonderful More info

pulled flatbed lower 48 n Canada 20 years and NEVER did that to keep the chains from turning SM EFFIN H. Duh. Great video. btw never had a damage claim, loss, wreck or shifted load.

Good information.

Thanks

Snaps are the best to use

does the info and regulations on this video apply only Alaska or all 48 states? awesome video, very detailed...thanks

But at 3:45 is only 3300lbs not 6600 because it’s not going across the entire load. 3300 x 4 for all 4 corners is 13,200lbs. One chain going across the bucket with one binder so 6600lbs, there’s 19,800lbs. You have to do the front bucket so there’s 2 chains and 2 binders for each corner of the bucket, so 3300 x 2 = 6600 + 19800 = 26,400lbs. They need 50% of the backhoe weight and that weights roughly 27,000lbs like ours

How to chain down my dad's kubtoa l5030 onto a flat trailer

The backhoe bucket wasn’t all the way down against the trailer deck and dummy was chatting about making sure every thing was down and secure 🤣🤣😂

It'd be nice to load and secure just one or two machines a day. Local Heavy Equipment Rental Drivers are delivering 4-8 times per day and Picking up the same.....60% of locations are downtown!! 😅 tendinitis is a guarantee

Amazing how many people haul this stuff and have no clue...

15 feet is piss all.

I can’t hear the guy talking over the stupid disco music

That's right, u pencil pushers keep telling the working man how to do their job! Pretty soon when the older experienced operators are gone, all common sense will be gone too!

Que??? no entiendo. yo Argentino.
