How do you secure a steel coil on an 18 wheeler?

Answer 1

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.
