Common sense makes the world go 'round. I love the way the belt holds itself when tightened.

Great video!

I hauled steel back in the early nineties , michigan doubles and toll road lcvs . And we just threw 2 chains over the top and called good. Those old timers said that if you put to many chains on them , if you take a turn or a exit to fast the whole truck will tip over , but this way the coil rolls off, truck stays up right. However , I know we can't do that any more because of our points system on our cdL, and we have to go by the book on all this stuff now days. Cheers from northern indiana usa

All that securement and it’s all for nothing until you said this thing ain’t going anywhere.

[@inilledra]

You cross your chains so in case one breaks, the other chain will hopefully hold the coil in place until you can come to a stop and replace the broken chain.

oh wow a local outfit on KZbin. cool.

[@sirmister4411]

That the way I do it sometime I nail a front wood stop in front of the coil it just a stupid little thing I do

[@larryjanson4011]

crazy way to load coils. they should be loaded so a fork lift can get to the center of it. one chain pulling forward, two pulling to the rear. in decades of hauling them this way the only time i saw a fail is when the driver pulled out in front of a train,.

[@joshuacarlton1386]

I love how all these companies think us drivers are the dumbest fuckn people alive. 20+ yrs of driving multiple types of combinations, I can say this honestly. I haven't ever had a load come off a trlr & I haven't ever hit a damn bridge with a tall load

[@truckerchops444]

Any advise for narrow coils 16" that are tippy?

[@ghostlight69420]

how many you totin? i reckon you can strap em together end to end

[@user-ff1vw6qv4g]

X chains are illegal.

[@pontificusvascillious5287]

that's what makes them so much fun ...

[@scottiebenjamin7938]

only if eye to the side. if eye to the front, its mandatory

[@joecummings1260]

Sorry, but people who X chain through the eye of a coil don't have a clue. You need to read a few books on rigging. Do you even know what a basket is? Do you realize the effect chain angles have on strength ?

[@dmytrodolzhenko349]

Buddy DOT FMCSA Securement Guide demands X CHAIN on shotgun style placed coils for suicide coils they are not necessary. This is not a crane and rigging class. None what you brought up is of revelant.

[@joecummings1260]

@@dmytrodolzhenko349 They are forbidden for suicide (2) Prohibition on crossing of tiedowns when coils are transported with eyes crosswise. Attaching tiedowns diagonally through the eye of a coil to form an X-pattern when viewed from above the vehicle is prohibited. And absolutely stupid on shotgun.. That x chain is nothing but a problem unless it wraps back around the outer edge if the coil. Sorry you couldn't cut it as a crane operator/rigger. But hey maybe you'll do good with your 70 hour a week OTR job

[@UnderTaker2040]

BHP would NEVER approve this system, very unsafe

[@donaldwayne4219]

They have their own engineer approved system (similar racks and timbers but chained differently) but load coils facing front to rear, not side to side like this.

Great video!!
