I know before I post this it will cause a lot of arguments. There was posted on here today a featured article about hauling equipment. I have know way of knowing about the author except he says he has hauled equipment for years. He wrote a good article but was very adamant about how to do the end of the chain at the truck or trailer.
His method was to go down thru the stake pocket an back up to the running end of the chain. I was imvolved with a very lengthly study of proper chain use in the late 70s . Sicence does not support his methods. The recomended method and the one proved most safe was to go down thru the pocket and bring the hook back up and hook down on the pocket or rail. We found chaining as he suggested put extra bends and force on links,
and in a overturn was more likely to come loose.
Is there any one else on here that has sicence or read any supported articles, as to oposed to just how you do it experience..What do you think guys..
