- Set up friction mats and coil racks according to weight.
- Take a chain (yellow below) over the top center of the coil, loop it through the eye and hook it back into itself.
- Take a second chain (Orange below) and repeat step 2 from the opposite side.
- Tighten each side a little at a time to pull even pressure in opposite directions.
- Secure the coil with FMCSA required chains plus 1 extra as described in section ***.
Points to Remember:
- Edge Protectors must be used anywhere the chain touches the coil.
- Do not count the hogtie chains towards your total aggregate working load limit of you tie-downs.
