monique.hubrechtsgm Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have four of them running thru alu rails over the full with of the garage. The eyes are 8 mm thick.. I span elastic spanners between them and put luggage underneath. Be sure the clamp is fastened very tight because they can be easely unscrewed by the elastic tension hook. Than they can come out of the rail and act like a bullet and can hit your head or eyes whit very severe consequences like loosing your eye. be very carefull whit these bolts and check twice if you put tension on them. It happens last weekend. and i will spare you the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Anything involving strong elastic ‘straps’ carries the potential for a serious accident. For example http://www.lep.co.uk/your-lancashire/north-west/warning-graphic-images-man-gets-hooked-in-the-eye-in-freak-accident-1-8264668 It’s certainly worth keeping the straps danger in mind, though I’ve had accidents where I’ve been well aware of potential risks, reminded myself of those risks and still had the accident that I’d reminded myself to take care to avoid.
