Three Point Five Tons.

There is a VAST difference between "rated safety chains" and "rated shackles" .

There is also quite a difference between the sentence "no rated shackles" and "no shackles". Which one is it?

Cheers,

Gordon

This guy is actually a qualified rigger and pointed out to the cop that the colour coding means zilch anyway unless the shackle is regularly inspected for wear and tear. I wonder if the cops bother to do this?

That is rubbish. I'll tell you why as soon as I find the Victorian law that applies.
Tell him to take it to court.

A little bit off topic but I saw GGHaggis in "rockcrawl " on the Kwinana FWY north bound towing a nice looking van yesterday. Hope his shackles were rated. :cool:
