How to Secure Equipment on a Rental Trailer
Once the machine is on the trailer, it needs to be tied down at four points using chains and load binders. For heavy equipment like skid steers and tractors, chains are the right choice. They attach to the designated tie-down points on the machine's frame, not to plastic body panels or attachments that could give way. The goal is to have the machine held firmly in place in all directions, not just from sliding backward.
If you are renting a tilt deck trailer, make sure the deck lock is engaged before you drive away. Big Rentals walks through the tie-down and safety steps with every equipment trailer rental in Lubbock before it leaves the yard, so if you have any questions about the process, that is the time to ask.
