[QUOTE="bobcat_ron, post: 8316, member: 1066"] I can help you with that, I took an Air brake course for Class 1 and part of it was Load Security. You will need 1 tie down point on the load (whatever the load may be) every 1.4 meters, on my T190, it works out to be the rear tie down under the red engine cover (tail gate whatever) and the tie down anchors on the loader. You can get away with 1 long chain and a single tie binder on the rear, as long as the chain is 5/16" thick or better, and the same on the front if you go through the loader and around the bucket cylinders or use the tie down loop in the middle of the belly pan, whatever method you use will work fine. the tie binders can be attached to the trailer tie down ralis with the chain attached to the load or the other way around, the CVSE (Commercial Vehicle Saftey Enforcement AKA the dreaded D.O.T.) doesn't care, as long as it is tight and no wiggle or bouncing around will make them shake. Second, make sure the tie binders are tight using a pipe for leverage and secure the handles with wires or bungee cords. Now this is the part where everyone get nailed big time on......I hope you have a Class 1 or 3 license, if so ignore this, if you don't along with others who read this, here goes........with a standard Class 5 license, you may pull a tralier of any length, of any axle combination WITHOUT air brakes, the weight of the TRAILER AND LOAD CARRIED MUST NOT EXCEED 4600 kgs or 10,000 lbs give or take, if you are over by 100 kilos, you will be asked to remove weight from the trailer and or load, if you cannot, you will be asked to drop the trailer and you are screwed. I got nailed big time with my trailer 2 years ago by the CVSE, I had to drop everything and get it towed, all because I was over by 200 kilos and I couldn't remove the excess weight. Lastly, make sure you have the proper registration regarding the trailer and your inspection decals are up to date, even if you are a casual user of the trailer and you will only haul it around 1 or 2 times a month, all it takes is 1 accident and it all goes to hell....fast.
