the guy isnt claiming to be an expert ,he has pointed out his mistakes there steel hauler.next time he will probably have beveled wood and chain protectors,but im sure you will find something wrong with that to.dont forget ,,its all about you
Beveled wood is much safer. Im surprised they even loaded you with that shit wood. Coil racks should all be under the coil. Also, why don't you have proper edge protectors? What if you had a galvanized or cold rolled coil?
coil racks are too far apart, they are useless unless they are under the coil, also u need rubber underneath ur coil, sloppy job bro, and those cheap ass 4x4's are gonna break and get someone killed, invest in some good oak 6x6's and some 3/8's chain. 48,000 lbs is a light load for me, ive got 63,000 on my trailer right now and everything i told u to get i use and it works fine
Our company makes us take the total wieght and devide by 7000. So for a 40000 pound coil you need 6 chains if the are 5/16 chains and four coil racks. But the racks dont count unless they are under the coil. No friction mat. Someone needs professional training.
Shouldn't you be using a shorter trailer for hauling steel coils? There is less flex in a shorter trailer. Just wondering if you have ever thought of using a shorter trailer.
Here are current CVSA rules reguarding hauling coils for all you new biginners. I'm not the one that posted this video but if he would have follwed, this would not have happened. Coil racks are now rated for 10,000lbs per. For a coild above 40,000 you must have 5 racks under it. Rubber friction mats now required for all coild hauled. Chains must have rating stamped in links. So example for 1 42,000lb coil. 5 racks,to make the craddle, rubber mats under rack or between coild and rack. 6 chains
@bbaker904 Also 6 chains for those using binders rated at 5400 or 5700lbs wwl. If you use 7500lb wwl binders with 3/8 grade 80 chains, the chain wwl is under binder so you would still need minimum of 4 chains but 5 for safety.

YOU HAVE TO USE HARD WOOD AT THE COIL, THE CHAIN WHEN USED WITH SNAP BINDERS COULD BE WRAPED AND YOU MUST USE WIRE TROUGH THE WHOLE OF THE BINDER, IT IS BEST WHEN YOU PULL ON A 45 DEGREE USING WO POINTS FROM TRAILER, 25 K COILS MUST HAVE 5 CHAINS AT LEAST, 3 PULLING BACK, RATCHET BINDERS ARE BEST, GREAT VIDEO AND VERY GOOD INFO, THE WOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT, IT WORKS AS A STOP, IF IT BREAKS, THE REST OF THE CHAINS ARE USELESS WHEN TRYING TO STOP.YOU WILL HAVE FREE PLAY AND IT WILL GO ....
Your missing one thing required by DOT. Rubber separation between deck and coil. Either friction mats under coil racks or rubber strips between coil and racks. This is to prevent movement within the chains.
@bbaker904 YOU ARE CORRECT ABOUT THE PIECE OF RUBBER BETWEEN THE TRAILER AND THE COIL, AND USING DIXIE BINDERS MAKES ME FEEL GOOD, BE SAFE OUT THERE ALL OF YOU DRIVERS
The regulations require the coil is not to actually touch the metal trailer deck, up on the dunnage, crushing into it, is just right.
Remember, the winch bar is the most dangerous item on the truck. Use all the leverage you can by standing and bracing yourself with legs spread and your hands out at the end of the bar AND your body further out than that.
looks alright for the most part. but just like the previous folks said..put a bevel on the lumber that way the coil will sit flat as opposed to sitting on a corner of the lumber. as for the coil racks, you have the right idea.. but the two outer coil racks should be moved in under the coil...that way all of your racks will be stationed under the coil itself giving you the extra safety you're looking for. KEEP TRUCKIN!
the edge protection is now (at least in Canada) not edge protection for the coil. it is considered as chain protection. i have hauled two of these coils averaging 40000 pounds a piece up and down the 401 corridor. yes the bevelled edge is extremely important. also adding at least two extra chains over the legal minimum is advised for anyone looking for tips on these types of loads. better safe than sorry as this driver said. hauling steel is serious business.
@cypry0 I'm not the one that posted the video but to answer the question, we do have them. Mainly dedicated route operations for one customer. But most coils get shipped via regular flat bed or step deck. With or without side kits. This way the trailer can be used for multiple tasks or LTL when hauling a coil.

@ta23909 Also he should have beveled lumber. Some places wont even load you if you have that shitty wood.

If I chained a coil that poorly I would get fired. I will post a video soon of how it should be done.

Direct tie down. He went from one side of the trailer to the next. He did not hook the chain to the same side again

Are those 4x4's even hardwood?? I dont think so.
Hardwoods are a plus with bevels....ALSO....Im not a fan of 5/16 on a coil..Never have never will..Minimum 3/8

just a quick tip, take your dunnage boards, and cut a 45degree bevel in it. It will keep your dunnage from breaking like that, and it's much safer.

Hi, do you have coil trailers in the US, where there is a recess in the floor for the coil to sit in,?
Love the videos keep them coming.
