Provided are hauling apparatus, systems, and methods adapted to securely transport on a standard flatbed trailer or other structure a plurality of objects up to several feet across having open center portions and curved outer surfaces and weighing up to thousands of pounds each, such as metal coils. A first apparatus is adapted to be removably attached to a standard flatbed trailer or the like, and includes an abutment structure extending upward from a longitudinally extending base that may include specially angled support structures adapted to securely carry the curved cargo. The abutment structure is connected to a movable abutting apparatus by a tensioner structure that passes through the open center portions of the objects without touching those objects. The objects are then secured to the hauling apparatus by tightening the tensioner structure, which causes the objects to be compressed between the abutment structure and movable abutting apparatus. |
