Tie-down Tips
• The load should be distributed to balance equally on all axles and tires. When securing the load, chains should pull either in or out and never the same direction. Always use the designated D-rings or tie-down loops. When using stake pockets, drop the hook and chain through the pocket and come back up and hook on the top side. Never use a fender or frame lip, as the tie-downs could shift and the structure may not support the load.
• Inspect the chains and binders for wear, and never use a chain that has been welded or has a quick-link; these are weak points. Also, make sure the chain is rated for the capacity you are hauling.
• After the first 100 miles, check the load for shifting, loose tie-downs or chains and tire pressure on the machine you are hauling. If the tire pressure is low, bouncing could loosen the tie-down chains or straps. Check the load every time you stop.
