- When hauling stacked eye-vertical coils, add the weight of each coil in the stack together and secure the stack like an individual coil.
- Use a vertical chain holder to keep the trip chain up on the upper coil to keep the top coil from shifting.
- Vertical Chain Holders are made of aluminum and direct downward pressure from a chain or strap will cause them to bend. They are not designed to be load bearing.
| Figure 3 (Above): A stack of two 12,000lb steel coils. Total weight: 24,000lbs. Secured with 4 chains (Green & Yellow). The trip chain (red) is shown elevated by the Vertical Chain Holder (Orange) to keep the trip chain in contact with the upper coil to prevent shifting. |
