Hmm... another use for Tork-Lift?

Pretty funny.

It might be the other way around.
I have seen that kind of rebar carrying long before Torklift start making camper ties.

Pure rodbuster ingenuity right there!

Must be smarter than the crew that just tied the first abutment footing on one of my jobs. 24' tall full height #11 and #6 wall dowels. Zero diagonal racking and almost zero ties on the tails. One bump on the end and 20,000lbs of bar went down like dominos!
Close call, noone was under it, no injuries and was about 2 minutes before hte first truck started dumping concrete!

That is one thing that Happijac's can't do :)

What is the real danger, compared to what most small contractors do? If it was me, I would probably put a strap in center to reduce sag, but not likely to cause harm.

If ya' took any sag out by supporting it in da' middle, den you might not be able to open yer doors (LOL)

Are you kidding, that truck gets into an accident and those rebar become flying projectiles. Yeah, your right whats the real danger?:S

Looks like it needs a “Wide Load” sign to me.

While this statement is true, IMHO, it is made by somebody that does not pay a lot of attention to the way things are normally done. Sure, pickup hits something, that rebar keeps moving. But it will be hitting the ground probably before the back is clear of front rack. Most likely any damage done will be to tires or feet/ankles. Not Good.
Now let's look at the same impact, same bundle of bar, loaded in the normal manner, a rack over bed and cab. The bar is launched at at the same speed, but starting at over 6 feet in the air. With the same drop rate it can skip off the roof of the car the truck hit, off the deck lid of the car stopped in front, and into that car's passenger compartment. But it must go much farther before it hits anybody in the ankles. I think even worse.

Not unless eight and half feet.
