17k over 12k is nothing if you have to brake hard or swerve hard on a hill. Add chains and or straps accross bottom and over top of coil. Put huge glulam headers for chalking. Place as many 5 foot stacks of pallets as you can to cushion and slow down the coil if it breaks free.

OK There are a variety of reasons a shipper or a driver would choose shotgun or suicide position of coil loading. The driver is correct about x chains here. He padded in between the 2 chains. And he even added an unnecessary strap over the top which provides an extra 6k WWL. Sometimes TH-cam comments are surprisingly ignorant.

www.ccmta.ca/web/default/files/PDF/Report_15.pdf TESTS ON METHODS OF METAL COILS 11. For a coil with its eye longitudinal on the vehicle, chain tie down angles should be kept as low as possible and should never be higher than 65 degrees with respect to the side of the vehicle

That is not how I thought that you did this. Thanks for the lesson!

Good job brother

No stop block in front chained down just metal wrapped in plastic on bare wood might as well put some lube on it all too

oh wow a local outfit on TH-cam. cool.

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

Absolutely well explained

Good video!

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

Thanks for this video I need to know this stuff for my permit test and it really helps

Any advise for narrow coils 16" that are tippy?

X chains are illegal.

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

Looking forward to be a flatbed driver this was a great video 👍

Great video!!

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,.

Great video!

I know truck drivers are fat, but this guy needs to take better care of himself. That beard isn't fooling anyone about the number of chins he has. He's got more Chins than a Chinese phonebook! 50 is right around the corner and so is heart attack and stroke. High blood pressure isn't something to ignore. You don't see old fat people because they die before they got that old! And finally, all that experience won't help anyone else if he's taking a dirt nap 🌷🪦

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.

Tsnk You sir.....good info

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 ?

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.

BHP would NEVER approve this system, very unsafe

Concise and well done! Thanks!
