I just got a conestoga put on my trailer. First time ever using one, love it except I have a hard time getting my straps through my rub rails with that weather strip they put under. I like the way you fold First and put into winch but I also have a hard time getting folded straps into winch. Was curious if you ran only a specific strap or maybe I just have to get mine broken in a little bit more ( I am running all new straps also) Thanks for the video, great info
@bigbearccoffin2 жыл бұрын
No specific strap just well used u have to smash the fold down for it to fit in there but its fast for me to do it that way tuck folded strap under load an fold in to winch

@wi11y19603 жыл бұрын
DOT requires 1 strap per 5 feet of load. 2 seraps minimum for 10 feet. 3 straps at 12 feet to 17 feet of length Yes, the load he is securing is under strapped. Yet he is also running a conestoga trailer.
@Arizona_rider3 жыл бұрын
You look at the weight vs strap strength. Figure out how many straps you need vs how many you personally want. Then follow the dot method of five feet. If the strap strength is 5400 and you have 45000lbs you want 9 straps. I don’t think of it as 5400 but 5000….flatbed is all about the puzzle.
