Go!The North American Cargo Securement Standard cover vehicles weighing:
When securing metal coils with eyes vertical, the angle between tiedown and deck, if possible, should be:
Which of the following can be used as part of the cargo securement system?
A securement system is a securement method that uses one or a combination of the following elements:
When securing flattened or crushed cars on a vehicle with containment on 2 sides, how many tiedowns, at minimum, are required?
Has containment walls on two sides that:
Secures each stack of vehicles with a minimum of three tiedowns, each having a minimum WLL of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.).
Requirements for securing a non-cubic shaped boulder with a stable base include all of the following except:
Secure each boulder individually with at least two chain tiedowns forming an X pattern over the boulder.
Pass the tiedowns over the center of the boulder and attach them to each other at the intersection by a shackle or other connecting device.
A device placed between the deck of a vehicle and car or between articles of cargo, intended to provide greater friction than exists naturally between these surfaces is:
A device placed between the deck of a vehicle and car or between articles of cargo, intended to provide greater friction than exists naturally between these surfaces.
What is the maximum weight that can be secured by a tiedown with a marked WLL of 5,000 lbs?
Note: The minimum WLL requirement for the securement system is 50%. More tiedown capacity should be used if you need to secure an article against any movement.
Option #3 for securing metal coils transported with eyes lengthwise includes all of the following except:
Option #3 is the same as Options #1 and #2, except that the two tiedowns that attach through the eye of the coil are replaced with two tiedowns that pass over the front and the rear of the coil.
Attach at least one tiedown over the top of the coil near the front of the coil.
Attach at least one tiedown over the top of the coil near the rear of the coil.
Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.
When securing building materials, spacer requirements include all of the following except:
Which of the following is not true of Working Load Limit (WLL)?
The Working Load Limit is the maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service.
The WLL is usually assigned by the component manufacturer.
Note: The minimum WLL requirement for the securement system is 50%. More tiedown capacity should be used if you need to secure an article against any movement.
Studying the flatbed cargo securement CDL manual is not a requirement for getting your CDL permit or license. It is required knowledge for flatbed drivers.
Some questions you should be able to answer for flatbed cargo securement:
Any device specifically manufactured to attach or secure cargo to a vehicle or trailer:
A combination of securing devices that forms an assembly that:
Some tiedowns are attached to the cargo and provide direct resistance to restrain the cargo from movement.
Some tie-downs pass over or through the cargo. They create a downward force that increases the effect of friction between the cargo and the deck. This friction restrains the cargo.
A combination of securing devices which form an assembly that attaches cargo to, or restrains cargo on, a vehicle or trailer, and is attached to anchor point(s).
Cargo is contained if it fills a sided vehicle, and every article is in contact with or sufficiently close to a wall or other articles so that it cannot shift or tip if those other articles are also unable to shift or tip.
A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
Tiedowns can be used in two ways:
Place the tiedown as close as possible to the spacer.
Position the tiedowns as symetrically as possible over the length of the article.
Position the tiedowns to preserve the integrity of the article.
