Are the over center lever type chain tighteners still legal to use? Or do I need the screw type?
(quoted from post at 05:54:09 02/24/17) I'm not understanding the "tearing up" of the stake pockets. When I bought my deckover trailer it was well used and I've used it quite a bit since, and there is no signs of any "tearing up" of the stake pockets. Other parts of the trailer are tore up, but not the stake pockets. We're not shy about torquing down the load binders either.
(quoted from post at 11:46:04 02/24/17) both styles are leagle, so far, but, the over center type must be secured with a binder bar, you cant tighten those enough by just using your hands, afterward the extra chain, or some kind of device must be present to prevent any possibility of road shock making the binder pop open, as to rub rails, the law says chains and boomers cannot be on the outside of the rub rail, im assuming they mean the working load side of the chain, cops may or may not know that or enforce it, ratchet styles are easier to get tight provided there kept lubricated, i used both kinds, we used strictly ratchet styles on all machines that weighed over 50,000 lbs, why was because the boss said so
