PARTIAL LOADS
Partial loads of sufficient quantities may also be carried on the M796 and M796A1 bolster trailer,
providing the stack is high enough to properly secure the invasion pipe retainer kit against the load. If
only two or three lengths of pipe are to be carried, they can be secured by using the swinging tiedown
shackles (1) on each side of the center beam of the frame.
UNEVEN LENGTH LOADS
If pipes of uneven length are to be carried using the invasion pipe retainer kit, at least four sections of
equal length pipe must be positioned at the lower outside and upper outside corners of the load. This
placement will allow the invasion pipe retainer kit to be properly positioned at each end of the load, and
allows proper tension of the tiedown chains. Pipes of shorter length can be positioned in the middle of
the load where they will be properly secured.
