Re: Moving a shop long distance


There are no anchoring points on the floor. It's like the old pickup
beds. An oak plank, then a strap with carriage bolts, then another plank.
There ain't much to a box floor. Flats are better, and you have the frame
on a flat to bind things to.


Steve
Mostly true, but there are no metal straps with carriage bolts. The
entire floor of modern trailers is oak.
Depending on the trailer, some do have floor anchors. It depends on what
you order from the trucking company. There are all kinds of trailers for
special loads.

Steve is correct that you need to watch what they send you.
