First, you have to build your coil rack.. it's simply some angled irons and some wood dunnage. You would centre it and have the coil placed on it. Then you run your chains through the eye of the coil... general rule of thumb is minimum one chain for every 5000 lbs.... the first two chains cross each other inside the coil (so that the chain secured on the left front is also secured at the right rear and vice versa), while additional chains are run straight through and both ends are secured on the same sides. You also need steel edge protectors to prevent the chain from actually making contact with the coil, in order to avoid damaging the coil.
As for loading methods, there are three:
- Shotgun load: this is the most commonly used, and has the eye of the coil facing front to rear on the trailer. So named for its similarity to how shotgun shells are loaded into a magazine.
- Suicide load: this is where the eye of the coil goes from side to side on the trailer.
- Palletised load: these are coils which are loaded standing straight up, and placed on a pallet. The method for securing these is much different. Aluminum coils, as well as painted steel coils, are loaded this way.

How do you secure a steel coil on an 18 wheeler?
IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THIS, YOU NEED TO REJECT THIS LOAD! YOU WILL GET YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED! That being said, you need two steel coil racks, at least two pieces of wood dunnage, at least one chain for every 4000 lbs. of load, enough binders and edge protectors for your chain, and enough edge protectors. Place the edge protectors over the edges where the chains will go. Run your chains through the eye of the coil - an equal number on either side. Tighten them with the binders. Use bungee cords to secure your excess chain, so it doesn't fall over the side of the trailer. Ensure you have a minimum of at least one chain for every 4000 lbs of weight on every coil. And remember - there is no such thing as too much load securement. Do not cross any of your chains - it used to be allowed, but isn't anymore.
