I'm now addicted to your vlogs! Nice to hear that the ART of roping & sheeting is still being taught - a well sheeted load is a delight to see. Personally, if carrying semi-trailers, I'd chain the neck but would always secure the wheels with straps as shown in the video. Having started with the old 'over centre' dogs (which loved knocking teeth out), I was thrilled when ratchets were introduced. However, a word of warning... I've seen drivers throwing chains over loads of steel & then using a short length of pipe to give them more mechanical advantage. NOT a good idea as, usually, one link of the chain will catch the edge of the steel & will bend under the strain to which it has been put. As everyone knows, a chain is only as good as its weakest link & now that chain is no longer of any use. Anyway, please keep up the good work as I'm sure your videos are teaching youngsters 'the ropes'!
Get the workshop to make you a bar to clip in the ratchet handle to give more leverage. Great video again. Like to see the example of sheeting and roping. In my early days that's how we secured every load. I thought the art had died.
Very interesting. Leverage is your friend there are a lot of devices you can use to gain mechanical advantage. I noticed that the screw binders used course square threads they also make fine threaded binders with screw threads that will give you mechanical advantage. I also noticed while using strap binders if you find the winches all made out of metal you can use a chain bar in the handle to gain mechanical advantage, Also if you notice there is a slit just below the binder that is intended to hold your excess, Just roll up your excess and thread it through that slit then tighten the winch. I hope you do well in your new adventure, Just take your time and watch how others do there work, cheers!
Used to visit my aunt who lived in Burton, and I would pass the Head Office of JCB plant on the way. Would come off the M6 J16, and me and my late hubby Tom (I still use his username as a little memory) on our way there. By the way, don't know whether you know, but a JCB tractor holds the world's fastest speed record of 135mph. Don't believe me, look it up🤣
Great video good to see plant machines being transported great looking scania good to see you ones showing interest the next generation in the making keep up the good work 👍👍
I move my own vintage tractors with a 7.5 tonner and was considering getting load binders (ratchets) to secure them but seeing this I`ll stick with my ratchet straps!
Great informative video, I spent several years working for one of Joseph Cyril Bamford's Agricultural Dealers, fixing their JCB Fastracs mostly ! You want to see if you can get yourself onto one of the factory tours, it's a very good day out :)
Good video but no hard hats!!!!!!. I used to love doing J C B work to France Spain and Portugal when I subbed for Freight Transfer. We used step frame euroliners with swing posts on the back doors. You back loading tiles?
very intresting vid , just a tip if i may im not the strongest of blokes so i carry a 3 foot bit of scafold tube one end has a slit in it that a standard rachet fits so i can get rachets very tight the other end is hollow so them rachet bars fit in then you can be as strong as any bloke ,, always to be over tight than under tight , stay safe
brilliant video , great to see other firms of road transport , with such specialist trailers is it mainly machinery out and back , stay safe keep the vlogs coming
I'm not going to try and second guess your age, but I'm probably more or less around the same age as you. The reason I say that is that I too grew up in an age where women were still pigeonholed into certain jobs and nurses were women, not men. It never made sense to me and like yourself, I am very glad we now live in an age (depending on country) where as you say, if your granddaughter decides she wants to be a lorry driver, doctor, bricklayer, lawyer, teacher, plant equipment driver or even a housewife, it is her choice and she can be anything she wants. Not forgetting the choice of becoming a farmer of course!
Hi Again, i live in manchester i was in trafford park last week, When a sweedish driver who was on a night out flashed me and said where is the park, I want to go for a walk after my food ,what park there is no park I said please dont walk around here And dont leave your waggon Alone so He went to bed .

Very interesting video Sherralin. Nice to see the “boss” strapping the load down in his JohnDeere overalls! Safe journey.
Wow was not expecting to see lowloader , looking like a lovely atmosphere to work in, well done on a great video, from Ireland.
The Digger Girl would love a visit here!

Just discovered your channel, Sherralin and more than impressed. Btw, the paint for JCB is made here in Bolton
Thanks for watching. I didn’t know that 😁 Everyday’s a school day 😁
Great video I work for brit European at that jcb site is a good job…
Love to take a Machine out to Spain 👍🏻
Great video good to see plant machines being transported great looking scania good to see you ones showing interest the next generation in the making keep up the good work 👍👍
Thanks for watching 😁
You make great videos sherralin. You’ll soon get strong with that gauge of chains. First time I used them my arms and hands were throbbing for hours 😂
Thank you 😁
Interesting video a lot goes into moving heavy plant
I move my own vintage tractors with a 7.5 tonner and was considering getting load binders (ratchets) to secure them but seeing this I`ll stick with my ratchet straps!
Have you seen the JCB digger dancing display team it's incredible what positions they can put them into
Great informative video, I spent several years working for one of Joseph Cyril Bamford's Agricultural Dealers, fixing their JCB Fastracs mostly ! You want to see if you can get yourself onto one of the factory tours, it's a very good day out :)
I’ll have to look into it 😁
Great Video again, would love a go on the digger.
The big one or Mya’s, don’t think she’d like sharing though 😂
Good video but no hard hats!!!!!!.
I used to love doing J C B work to France Spain and Portugal when I subbed for Freight Transfer. We used step frame euroliners with swing posts on the back doors.
You back loading tiles?
Yes Usually tiles and machinery.
very intresting vid , just a tip if i may im not the strongest of blokes so i carry a 3 foot bit of scafold tube one end has a slit in it that a standard rachet fits so i can get rachets very tight the other end is hollow so them rachet bars fit in then you can be as strong as any bloke ,, always to be over tight than under tight , stay safe

@@GBtrucklady id be lieing if i said it was my own idea i saw a one armed trucker in greece using the bar to tighten his load down
brilliant video , great to see other firms of road transport , with such specialist trailers is it mainly machinery out and back , stay safe keep the vlogs coming

Brilliant a digger driver in the making
The guy chaining up hasn’t got toe tectors on.
He definitely has.
@@GBtrucklady apologies, at the time it looked to me that he didn’t. ( old man with dodgy eyes ) modern shoes I suppose. Xx
Brilliant
I hope you lowered the middle axel on the unit before you set off.
Thanks for commenting.
Like most lorries nowadays, it lowers automatically when it’s loaded. But yes, we always check. 😁
Well I never! Not in my day but that's progress. I really enjoy your videos . Keep then coming. @@GBtrucklady
Thank you 😁
