3 ways I chain down equipment.

What happens here

Begin by passing one end of a Grade 70 transport chain through a secure anchor point on the rear of the Bobcat (e.g., a designated tie-down slot or a sturdy frame component). Extend the chain diagonally to a D-ring or anchor point on the trailer deck. Connect a ratchet load binder to the chain, ensuring it is positioned to allow for proper tensioning. Use the load binder to tighten the chain until it is taut and the equipment is firmly secured, showing no movement. Repeat this process for the other rear corner of the Bobcat, creating two secure diagonal connections at the rear.

Goal: Demonstrates the secure attachment of two chains to the rear of the Bobcat and tensioning them using load binders for a proper 4-point tie-down.

you guys the least amount of trouble it may not be the fastest way but it's called a four point tie down and a four point should get you through most inspections so what is the four point tie down well four point tie-down is simply put you chain down all four points of a piece of equipment before you go down the road if it's an excavator there's going to be a fifth fifth point i guess that's all the way out and now full of little tiny rocks so good job stand now if you have a loose attachment so if you're hauling down the road and you have a bucket and then inside of your bucket is a set of forks you better have a chain down through nothing can go down the road loose it's all got to be attached i don't have hooks i'm not hooking it up now if you're wondering how tight to go that's not tight you want to go till nothing moves
