Cs100 strapping down issues

[Scott Farmborough]

I've only had the machine for about a month & love it to bits!

My only issue is keeping it secure on the trailer which is an Ifor Williams P6.

Now I'm using 3 ratchet straps properly secured to the front, back & middle...but every time I get to where I'm going it's moved & the straps are loose.

I'm not going down the root of the specific trailer greenmech make for it I obviously want to carry on using the ifor.

So does anyone have any tips regarding securing it?!?

Do you have internal tie down points on the trailer?

I just shunt it right to the front, and put one strap on the backside of the discharge chute and I've not had a problem.

Push it up to the front of the trailer. Strap round the back to headboard and one side to side.

you could, if you've a mind to make some wooden gizmo's to hold it in position. somethin light and easy to take off... wedge em in so to speak...

was thinking of doin the same for my Eliet,, that has loosened off on occasion... even fell over once. luckily didn't roll off the trailer.....

No tie down points internally...but was something I was going to!

Will try your idea, cheers

Thanks for your suggestions, much appreciated.

They are a quite ungainly top heavy machine.

I've got 4 of these lashing points you can have if you fancy them: I bought them a couple of years ago and never used them.

Strap over the shoot on top of the lifting eye to the head board then leave the in feed shoot open then another strap though the handles of the main body to the rear of the trailer. Hope that makes some sense 😂
