Loading And Unloading A Flatbed Trailer
! WARNING
Damaged or loose hold downs and/or “D”-rings can break,
allowing cargo to become loose on the trailer. Loose cargo can
shift the center of gravity, and result in loss of control of the
trailer.
Inspect hold downs and/or “D”-rings, and test them for looseness
before loading cargo.
Do not use a damaged or loose hold down or “D”-ring to secure
cargo.
