- Secure the coil according to the shotgun coil section on page ***
- Place a chain around the top of the coil, bring it back through the eye and hook it back into itself (yellow chain on figure 1)
- Place an additional chain through the looped chain on each side of the coil (purple chain figure 1)
- Tighten the binders on the A-chains (purple) a little at a time to insure equal tension to both sides.
Points to remember:
- The banding material that holds these coils together will break under stress, causing the coil to fall forward. This hogtie technique eliminates this issue.
Figure 1
45,000lbs cut coil showing a 6-chain, 3-X configuration with a hogtie. Notice the yellow chain looped around the top of the coil and the purple chain pulling on each side of the loop.
Figure 2
This shows the same coil above from the side. The front of the coil is on the left.
