Aluminum Coil Securement- Eye Forward (Shotgun)

1. Set up friction mats and coil racks according to weight.
2. Once loaded, secure the coil with two 4-inch straps (orange below) before moving to the securement area. (Never throw straps across aluminum coils.)
3. Add one additional strap over the coil (yellow below).
4. Add two chains in an “X” configuration. (Do not throw chains through the eye of the coil.)

Points to remember:

• Straps over the coil do count toward total aggregate working load limit but do very little to prevent forward motion during hard braking. Crossed chains are required. 
• Ratchet binders must be used on the chain. Snap binders are not allowed.
• Felt padding must be used under metal edge protectors on the chain. 
• Chain can never touch the front face or outside edge of the coil.
