to a aluminum trailer.
It is pressure treated, 2 in. wood decked, and 'framed' by angle, that the deck 'lays' in.
It is often short 'walled' for fine loads.
So, looking real hard at D's that hang on a pin, through a 4 hole recessed bracket. If I go to a corner, they will lay in to catch 3 holes in pieces of angle (maybe through wood), and 1 hole solely in wood.
This leaves me deciding D's hinge parallel to sides, or D's parallel to front/rear beam.
Load will typically be a BX23 (on a 6x12 deck).
Seems to me, D's parallel to front/rear beams means loads will always pull on shaft to both sides of bracket (and parallel to sides will always pull on furthest bracket hole and into side of recess.
Any experience?
I'm also looking for confirmation that D's should lay down towards center of deck (will load at say 45* to deck) vs laying down away from center (and always pulling at 90*).
I think toward center is obvious - right?
THX guys!
