I told you I’m a crazy person. When I brain dump everything onto a yellow pad it typically gets delegated to a more specific checklist. Lol
Productiveflourishing.com has a bunch of free pdf checklist you can type out and print which is what I did for the winter maintenance because it will eventually go into a handbook for an employee to tackle.
But I think I get a lot more out brain dumping things with pen and paper with no rhyme or reason on a yellow pad. It’ll find a home after that.
Formal checklist wouldnt work for me… if i do make a list its normally coveres in doodling whileni think about whats next.
Even a 12 yr old partially functioning G-Shock!
I agree and don’t use bungees either. In an accident that ladder going to become a projectile. If you do make sure to use a couple of those velcro for backup. Just get a couple of short real straps or being a squid use good rope with a couple of those fanc y knots you guys use.
I dont use ladders.
But have eye bolts welded on cross bars, top and sides.
I use bungees with carbiners on the ends
please don’t use bungie cords. The life of someone you don’t even know may be at stake. Imagine a rollover and all that crap secured improperly with bungie cords flying thru the air.
Lashing straps are dirt cheap hold tight with no flex, and will out last a bungee.
I thought it was secure.
I machines are all bolted down and strapped.
I use these too, since I have a tubular trailer
Velcro and bungie cords don’t do much in a wreck
True.
What do you suggest? Or recommend?
I use ratchet straps to hold ladders in place.
I use a chain and a master lock. Used to use a cable bike lock. My philosophy is: “if those come off it’s because we done wrecked bad.” lol
I can get more of those,
Sounds good.
I have them on my generator…ty
One thing for sure Flexzilla isn’t kink free as they advertise, unless they are referring to permanent kinks.
I get the same thing. As soon as it’s under load, it’ll twist up and kink, but when it’s not under load, it’s like it can be twisted a lot and it won’t kink up. But then when I turn on the water it’ll do that sometimes.
Goodyear hose is amazing…i can only find it on 50 ft sections localy. It will mark if handled wrong but it’s rare I get a kink.
I use good year in the two larger trailers. 3/4 by 150 and 200. Had to go into town to order it in those lengths… Im sure you can find it online. Warning it is freaking heavy.
hmm. Strange. I can’t recollect having this happen to me and not unkinking fairly easy with a shake of the hose while it’s under pressure.
Usually you cut on hose and it’ll straighten right up. I’m with Rowdy, never had mine do that. But I’ve only been using a couple of years, so maybe mine needs to age more, lol. Straighten it out before you put on reel. I mean hey guys, we are in the hose management business.
