D.O.T. requirements and C.V.S.A. guidelines state the aggregate static working load limit (W.L.L.) of the tie-down assemblies used to secure an article against movement in any direction must be at least 1/2 (.5) times the weight of the article. Additional tie-down assemblies may be required to meet other industry, local, state and federal regulations. Warning: Do not exceed Working Load Limits.
