Haulin Stacks

I wonder if JJ Keller could help you?

 

Utility trailers or stacked semi trailers?

Semi trailers, cover for the length and weight, and you will satisfy DOT. I would cross chain the fronts and rears each level and throw straps across the tops as mains.

utility trailers? If they have the styrofoam blocks as dunnage, they're going to sway. Easiest way to secure them is with 2 inch straps and ratchet down the corners on each stack. Don't forget about the 3 tiers, 6 ft or taller rule. You're talking about a lot of straps.

 

1 binder each tire on deck

 

Guess the OP isnt going to tell us what type of trailer huh?
If flats/steps, go through the stake pockets at angles, like any other load.
Certainly not brain surgery, so not sure why you would need documentation......

Well it wasnt THAT obvious but ive hauled lots of stacked trailers. I dont know the exact rules but what worked for me was chaining the bottom trailer if its a BIG stack and always pull both directions

 

Also strap every layer. also keep your straps as close to the sturdiest parts of the trailer

 

Touchy...Any "additives" in your Cherio's this morning?
I always run chains through the stake pocket. Pulling forwards and backwards, just like any other load. Like I said, it isn't brain surgery unless you make it so. Guess hauling equipment all the time makes some of us more confident etc? Dunno
Last time I checked, D rings were also made for chains too...

 

8 chains, 4 per side in a small zig-zag pattern.
