I work for a flatbed trucking company, I tell my guys that no one has ever gotten a ticket for to many straps. That is true as long as the straps and chains do not have any damage to them. You should ask him about strap and chain damage. I also tell my guys that the extra 5-10 min you spend strapping and unstrapping is still faster than picking stuff up off of the road.

Pulled flatbed semi and doubles for 15 years. Not once in that 15 years did I ever say to myself, "Man I wish I hadn't thrown that extra strap.." Retires now, but occasionally haul a tractor or building material on a bumper pull car hauler and sill use plenty of straps.

I absolutely love this series! I am one of the old duffers that tend to strap things down x 10 just in case. I don't want my load coming through my vehicle but my worst fear is my load injuring or killing someone else! For the 5 extra mins it takes to over secure a load is simply peace of mind and God forbid a accident did happen at least I could sleep at night knowing I did everything possible to protect everyone from harm. 1 or 2 or 10 different extra straps and a few extra mins securing a load is nothing more than me being able to honestly say I did my best to protect everyone. Not spending a few bucks for extra chains or straps is simply saying I don't care about others! That is one thing I don't want anyone to be able to say after I am dead and gone!

Worked at a rental outfit years ago, and one morning a fellow pulled up to the returns area with a large masonry saw in the bed of his truck. The stand for the saw was separate, the saw itself was just sitting there, unsecured. He hit the brakes and the saw slid forward. The motor was just high enough to take out his rear window. Bits of glass were all over the cab, down his neck - a real mess that could have been prevented with a little rope. We were not allowed to tie down customers' loads (liability issues) and I can tell you we saw some nightmares heading out onto the highway - like a 40' extension ladder tied on top of a small car (no roof rack even) using only twine. The customers always said the same thing: "It's okay, we're not going far."
@johngritman48405 жыл бұрын
GREAT video! We do things as trooper Hover says: If in doubt, over do it. Just need to remember that the load can move front and back, side to side and up and down. The second point is more than just working strength but also edge protection. BUT you have to look at those straps every time you unload for abrasion or cuts. The second common rule of thumb is to check ALL tie downs every time you stop for fuel or a potty break. Sometimes my son in law will pull into a rest area soon after he has loaded an odd shaped load and walk the trailer for any movement (loosening) in the tie downs. It's not a matter of law but of common sense. If a load moves, you are putting lives at risk.

Hey, Tim Consider the scenario of you being involved in an accident while towing this load. The bucket in the back, not being strapped down, can become a missile that could potentially come through the rear window of your truck. The air bags in your truck wont save you from that or anyone else that may come in contact with an airborne bucket that weighs 400 lbs. I always strap loads in the bed of my truck for that reason.
@EMJ315 жыл бұрын
Bryan Poitras Bryan Poitras AAAAAAAAAMEN!! And the operative term is missile. I’ve teased Tim a bit before on the “Safety Sally” kidding he does, but coming from a firefighting family, on this particular subject, always think of the worst case scenario, and it can and will happen. Go talk to some experienced firefighters who work on expressways, etc. Think of terms like “decapitation” in conjunction with going down the highway at 70 with that unsecured bucket and hitting something that brings you to a dead stop. With seatbelt shoulder strap and airbag it’s probably survivable, like a particular accident I was involved with when a crotch rocket missed a curve at 130-plus mph and hit a Ford F-150 head on. The father and his son in back survived that with minor injuries. But then throw in their having that giant green missile in the back still going 70, and it quite efficiently takes their heads off. Then let’s think about the dynamics and kinetic energy stored up when towing either the JD or the Case. The friend who taught me had some good life experience that dictates good old common sense overkill to give plenty of safety margins. He started out working in Colorado around Boulder. If you’re ever there note the old cars way down over the side of the mountains. His employer taught him with chains, because when all of the momentum and inertia comes into play,and that trailer starts rolling, a road sign or anything like that’s going to cut through a strap. His other point was if the trailer gets loose or flips, that machine ought to still be well enough secured that it is still attached to that trailer at the bottom of the mountainside. Sure enough, he’s headed to a job, slowly in icy weather, then the brakes also go out on his boss’s truck. He bailed out before it all went over. The truck was totaled and eventually broke loose from the trailer on the long way down. But when the big wrecker came, it pulled the trailer and machine back up the mountain as one unit, and the machine was repairable and put back into service. I took that and went belt and suspenders with it. I tie down my 2305 like it’s my friend’s 4 ton skid loader, one chain to each corner, then put a strap securing the loader bucket, and another over the mower deck. Then I’ve done everything I can do, will hopefully never have to say I’m sorry, and never have to hear things from firefighters like my Dad that, “The thing became a missile and took the guys head/arm off” or “crushed the driver.” I’m not worrying about complying with the minimum that the law requires. Instead, I’m thinking about real insurance against ever having to have that awful feeling that I didn’t do enough, and because of it someone was killed or maimed.

This is totally different but, a few years back there was a man who didn't secure his skid steer to the trailer. He ended up in the ditch, and the skid steer ended up on top of the truck. Needless to say that was the last mistake he made. Always secure your load!!!! We want to keep you around Tim!

KEY WORDS, Subject To Interpretation. That bucket IS an unsecured load and you will be cited by most, and that's a fact. This is such a broad subject you could do 20 videos just on load securement. The key word is "securement", not drag coefficiency as he talked about concerning the bed liner, (although that is a factor). You are to secure against movement, forward, back, side to side and UP. Everything else he talked about was spot on.

One thing I’ll throw in is that legal or not, one tie down front and rear gives you no protection from a failure. I had my 2,000 lb garden tractor tied down with 4 g70 5/16 chains on a recent trip, which is overkill, but how I always do it. When I got to the destination, something happened to a cotter pin on a hook, and the pin fell out of the chain and Clevis. If I hadn’t had that other chain there, that thing would have been whipping around on the 8’ of chains in the back...2 chains would have cleared me for 2.5x the weight I had, but still would’ve ended up unsafe. Also, on safety chains without a latch on the hook, the open part should be facing the trailer, otherwise they can bounce off when hitting roadkill, etc.

Chains vs straps, I love chains because they last for ever, they don't get cut, strong. Straps on the other hand won't scratch up whatever your pinning down, and are more forgiving, so they'll stretch a little before bending things. So depends on what you're doing, in my case my 1/2" chains are worth gold nuggets, because excavators, wheel loaders, tanks (no no tanks... fuel tanks yes).

My rule of thumb is that the weight of the load is determined, then 80% lashing capacity of the weight of the load has to be used to stop the load moving front and back. Sideways, minimum of 50% of the weight of the load and same for vertical. So, if you have a 5 ton load, my aim is to have 4 ton tiedown force for front and back, and 2.5 ton force for sides and vertical. Mind you, use a 5 ton tractor, use 7/16 transport chain - 6 ton WLL, and have 4 chains from centre point going to each corner of the square. Am managing to break the chain! No cheat bar, just armstrong on the over centre load binder. Mermaids have told me that it is overkill, but, better safe than sorry.

Just me thinking but if you have to secure 1/2 the weight of the machine (ex 8,000lbs/2) and then each strap is rated at 2,000 which you also take half of gives you 1,000 for each strap. So you need 4 of the straps. Now just to make things easier and less math wouldn’t you just not take half of any and come up with the same answer. 8,000 you need 4 2,000lbs straps. If the Machine is 6,000 you need 1,500 wll straps. That’s how I’ve always done it.

I asked around to trailer businesses and they all put their brakes on the rear Axl if they're only running one set of brakes. I believe they should be on the front axle, this is how I built my trailer. My theory is if the trailer breaks away with the tongue weight of the trailer it will go to the ground and allow the rear axle to rise not being able to break with the emergency Breakaway.

The jurisdiction that is the most stringent is what you are “ suppose “ to adhere to. Yes there are times when the county or state has stiffer laws than the Feds.

So what happens to the load in the truck bed during a collision? Physics says it's going to continue in motion. Or since you can't physically move it means it will stay there?

Sadly more laws and regulations than can be enforced. Here in SC they don’t even require mud flaps, so flying rocks are your problem.

I see that is a 4in1 bucket in your bed. It’s that a new attachment for Johnny? I’m looking forward to your experience using this type of bucket, also the source and cost.

In Australia that bucket _must_ be strapped, regardless of bed liner. You'd be fined for "unsecured load". All loads must be secured against upwards movement as well as a '2g force' for front/back/side movement - the 'half weight' rule would he mentions suffice for lateral movement. Rated chains or straps are acceptable, ropes not so much. The securing hooks on the trailer must be rated and secured (welded or high-tensile bolts) to the rails - bolted through the plate won't cut it. Same rules for all road users.

Nothing bad happens with too many oil changes and nothing bad happens for extra securing of cargo when done right 7 straps or 50 if u think it needs it make it happen the law is the minimum you know that equipment

interesting so dual wheel straps on an atv are not enough as it is only one one end even though its two straps and weigh over the weigh allowance.
