I for one have nothing to say !Interesting picture, it looks like a West Australian configuration. Any more info, please?
I agree STU the wool carriers here in West Aus carried a tool box full of H pattern spikes as a bale was loaded it was spiked to the next bale so the whole load was attached to one another ,i only carried one road train load and borrowed some spikes off a mate and they worked well one strap per bale and off you went,lots of gravel sandy roads in the sheep country so not all plain sailing like the highways of the UK.
Cheers Dig
There was a similar system here where they pinned the bales ,Les would be able to go into more detail
Not much more detail they were just a piece of round steel bar with a point on either end and bent over, just stick em in the bales, best thing was a fly sheet on the second tier, two more tiers on top rope and sheet, safe as houses, probably not allowed in the book too many sheets holding the load safe.
