Harry, looking at the slab scissors behind, they don't seem much better- just 1 strap in the middle ? Nothing on any of the tie down points anywhere.

I’m curious as to why the 2 rough terrain scissors are lashed with straps, not chains and why the straps go over the wheels instead of using the lashing points.
