[QUOTE="extreme3807, post: 420991, member: 3338"] My job is loading/unloading/transporting cargo all over the world. Here is a picture of a 150,000LB tank I loaded and chained down for flight into Afghanistan. With that being said I use straps instead of chains sometimes for various cargo in-flight (HMV's, generators, trucks) and I have never had an issue. Whenever I trailer my truck to events I always use 2 ratchet straps on the front tow hooks, and 2 around the back axle's. Remember to always cross the straps as this will provide you with all of the lateral restraint you need. In my world all cargo has to be restrained for 3 G's in flight. that means that 150K tank I loaded had to have 450,000 LB's of restraint (150K x 3 G'S=450K), yeah thats a lot of chains lol. (I'm the one taking the picture...Bringing pain to the enemy) [ATTACH=full]185487[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
