[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5610566, member: 70932"] Zip ties do not hold the container to the chassis. That job is done by the locking pin. The pins have a latch that keeps the pin from sliding back out, thus unlocking that particular corner. There is very little sliding pressure on this pin. You can pull it out with your hand. It can slide out due to vibration while moving. The latch does not need to be strong at all, just needs to keep the pin from sliding. This latch is usually in disrepair, or not there at all. The zip tie is used in place of the latch, or in conjunction wit the latch, to keep the locking pin from sliding back out. [/QUOTE]
