      Yeah man it’s hard trying dial it all the way down to the basics, but I realize a lot of people watching this have no idea what chaining down something even looks like. I’ve done it so much I overlook the simplicity but it’s important stuff to know. The comments and suggestions on here are amazing at discovering that. It’s really fun to piece it all together. 👍

      Thanks for the video, but I would like in the future, if you can explain the mechanism of the ratchet, how does it work. sometimes it is confusing, you think you are opening, you feel tension on the chains, as if you were tightning it.how do you lock it ? And unlock it ? Thanx.

    I hauled steel for almost 30 years and never even had a 3/8 chain on the truck. 5/16 is so much lighter and easier to deal with. I didn't have the option of ratchet binders in the beginning but once they came along I never looked back. I haul equipment now and keep a couple snap binders on the truck, there are some situations where they work better.

  • @ALHARVEYify
    @ALHARVEYify 7 місяців тому

    One point worth addressing, if someone is using a hook clevis that attaches to the chain with a pin, it should not be hooked it to the stake pocket like you did. That would put a side load on the attachment point (where the chain and hook connect together) and lead to a possible failure, they are designed for pulling in line with the chain. Not sure how your hooks are setup, but anyone watching should keep that in mind if they use your method.

    Spray silicone (liquid wrench by the case) works pretty good on the binders, hitch pins, locks, even the gooseneck hitch, same as you, 5/16 chain but no folding handles, hauled a backhoe for years on 3 different trailer, still haven't broke a chain following similar methods. And so you right about doing stuff, almost everything in life, 100 ways right and 100 ways wrong for each person. Heck I did't even know you could get a binder with folding handles

    @HC-xs6ek 3 роки тому +2

    Those "little trailers" are in fact power units the Air Force uses for stand alone aircraft, which is besides the point. Secondly, I haul them with 3/8 and do not use the the sling points as those are designed for lifting rather than chaining down. That is why you are having the problem with the brake popping up and those sling points move and are NOT fixed. You could have crossed them once through the sling points and that would bypass the brake all together forming an "X". We chain from underneath where there are openings in chassis between the fuel tanks.

    Nice! Wrap your loose chain so it doesn't interfere with adjusting the binder when tightening is needed later, speeds up the process! Not me, I tie down 4 separate points. It's not if Murphy will bite you someday, It's when!

      Load Mizer max out deferring gross earnings into your 401k large cap index fund you’ll have $100k and zero debt earning you $1000- a month to offset below average months, then you’ll be in control, the first $100k is the target, push out constructive receipt of earnings into the next year, no non-essential spending, you’ll end with real money.

    So...if I haul a 11,500 lb mini excavator on my 24' gooseneck I can use 5/16 chain and binders?

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  2 роки тому

      Yes, a 5/16 chain is rated at 4,700 lbs. 4 chains will add up to 18,800lbs but you’ll also need another chain or possibly a strap on the attachment. So that’s 5 chains or 4 chains and a strap. That will easily hold 11.5k

    Do not use rub rail as a securement point . Chains touching each other wears chain links .Chaining axle to trailer is better . Your pull angles are incorrect . Even though not 10,000 pounds better secured with 4 chains . I still enjoyed your video , thank you .I hope you took this as constructive criticism.

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  2 роки тому +2

      There’s not really a securement difference as long as all the force is equal each way. I just mainly secure towards the middle to prevent my ratchets from being in the way of the next cars ratchet. Saves space if you pull them inward instead of away.

    @joecummings1260 4 роки тому +3

    Been doing this for over 40 years. I like to use a bit more angle fore and aft on things with tires. If it's going to move chances are it's going to want to roll back and forth. On a lot of things I like to add an additional chain pulling back at a long angle but not so tight as to overstress the opposing chain. I don't want anything ending up in the cab with me. Back in the 60's one of my grandfather's friends had a big coil end up rolling over the cab of his B-61 Mack. He got hurt pretty bad but lived to tell the story. I remember looking at the wrecked truck, it was a good lesson

    • @LoadMizer
      @LoadMizer  3 роки тому

      Sounds like they may just be seized up. You won’t be able to lube the threads unless you can spin it. I always fully extend my binders when I put them away. If I get one that hangs up on me I’ll hang that end off my rub rail and spin the binder until it breaks loose. See if that helps get it going 👍

      Jason's Outdoor Channel thanks for the question! It was a little bit of everything to be honest. I worked for a couple of flatbed companies in a semi to get started, so I learned “the basics” there but to be honest you’re going to learn what works for you fairly quickly based on what you haul. Just remember over securement is always a better bet than under securement.

"General regulations specify that when loading heavy equipment over 10,000 pounds, the FMCSA requires a minimum four tie-downs to be used on independent corners. For vehicles like excavators, the appendage will also need an existing tie down when lowered."

    @1:19 they are not dangerous if you deployed them right. And if you get anti-shock lever binder they are even much safer.
    You mention the two are almost the same price, I would like to know where you are getting your's at? ;) rachet binder are always more in costs and specially for USD made. I love rachet but due to cost and more time to deploy, I almost never use them and I'm only moving items from point A to B under 100miles or so.
    As far as hook-end up/down, I have disagree, if the chain becomes loose and your are not monitoring the chain, the hook can fall off. Example , we hauled 40K lb of materials in Korea for the USAF once and we found this out the hard way and we had a lever binder that became loose fwiw. If the hook was hooking downwards, the chain would still been loose , but due to gravity the hook would never fallen.
    And lastly where those chains did the "X" cross you never want them touching.
    perspective
    In my 30 years or doing this I've only came across one chain that failed and it was due to a worn chain that was not properly inspected in fact it was flagged for disposal and someone returned it to inventory for use. It was use in a railroad maintenance crew outfit fwiw.

      Good feedback, so I’ll break this down.
      1.) in 12 years I’ve witnessed 5 people hurt with snap binders, 3 lost teeth, 1 dislocated their jaw and another was knocked off the trailer and broke their wrist. I’ve seen one person pinch their knuckle with a ratchet binder.
      2.) I buy my securement from mytee.
      Here’s a link to a snap binder. www.myteeproducts.com/chain-binder-lever-style-731.html
      $19.99
      Here’s a link to a ratchet binder. www.myteeproducts.com/ratchet-chain-binder-config-prod.html
      $24.99
      $5 dollar difference
      3.) hook up pulls down, hook down pulls out. Your example is out of context, your problem wasn’t hook orientation, it was due to your securement being loose. That’s another example as to why snap binders aren’t safe. There’s rarely a middle ground. They’re either too tight or too loose with no room for adjustment without popping it off and attempting to retighten. A ratchet binder is just adding a few more clicks to get tighter and you’re done.
      4.) my crossed chains weren’t touching until the brake released and walked a unit almost a foot toward the other one. Once I saw that I switched the chain orientation, shown in the video. If they were just going to touch regardless I have cut rubber hose to remedy that with.

      ​@@LoadMizer thanks for the link ratchet binder are out of stock , btw and the prices are not bad ;)
      And yes lever binders will do all of that but people being unsafe is the main reason they get injured. My 5/16 and 3/8 lever binder handles from the pivot is only 12-14" long , no way ever has my teeth or jaw been within 16" throw of the handle on these types in the 27 years of me using them.
      So you can say knifes are dangerous, but if you give them to people who don't practice proper use, they are really dangerous ;)
      I'll keep search for ratchet binders . On the safer lever binders you can find them at vulcan website www.vulcanbrands.com/cargo-control/load-binders.html
      "LBL10-EZ-HD" they are properly called recoil-less or safety release levers. They are more expensive than standard levers but on opening the recoil is reduce or eliminated. I have these in 3/8" sizes

    Four independent chains would hold better than two chains . One chain at each point not one chain in the front and one chain in the back, just saying.

      Definitely would. Changing the angle fixed the movement but I just can’t for the life of me throw 4 chains on a unit that doesn’t even weigh 4K would just kill me lol
