What is the minimum nominal dimension of timber blocking used to secure concrete pipe?

• 8 x 10 in
• 4 x 6 in
• Half the diameter of the pipe
• 2 x 4 in

How many tiedowns are required on a stack of shortwood loaded crosswise?

• 3
• 1
• It depends on the weight
• 2

Tiedowns requirements

Use two tiedowns to secure one stack of shortwood loaded crosswise.

Attach the tiedowns to the vehicle frame at the front and rear of the load.

Position tiedowns approximately 1/3 and 2/3 of the length of the logs.

All of the following are requirements for transporting coils with eyes crosswise except:

• Prevent the coil from rolling
• These are all requirements
• Attach one tiedown forward
• Attach one tiedown rearward

There are three requirements for coils transported with eyes crosswise:

Prevent the coil from rolling

Attach one tiedown forward.

Attach one tiedown rearward.

If loading and securing paper rolls on a second layer:

• Be sure the bottom layer extends to the front of the vehicle.
• Lay the second layer horizontally.
• Stack the second layer at the back.
• Make sure heavier rolls are on top.

When securing rows of coils, requirements include all of the following except:

• Attach at least one tiedown through the center of each row of coils.
• Attach at least one tiedown over the top of each coil or side-by-side row, located near the front of the coil.
• Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.
• Attach at least one tiedown over the top of each coil or side-by-side row, located near the rear of the coil.

Tiedowns

Attach at least one tiedown over the top of each coil or side-by-side row, located near the front of the coil.

Attach at least one tiedown over the top of each coil or side-by-side row, located near the rear of the coil.

Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.

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.
• All of these are true.
• The minimum WLL requirement for the securement system is 25%.
• The WLL is usually assigned by the component manufacturer.

Within the requirements for concrete pipe, which of these requires specific securement methods?

• Concrete pipe loaded cross-wise on a flatbed trailer.
• Concrete pipe eyes vertical and concrete pipe loaded lengthwise.
• Concrete pipe loaded in a sided vehicle or container.
• Concrete pipe that is grouped together into a single rigid article and may not roll.

A hook-lift container is:

• A specialized container, primarily used to contain and transport materials in the waste, recycling, construction/demolition, and scrap industries, which are used in conjunction with specialized vehicles, in which the container isloaded and unloaded onto a tilt frame body by an articulating hook-arm.
• A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.
• A reusable, transportable enclosure that is especially designed with integral locking devices that secure it to a container chassis trailer to facilitate the efficient and bulk shipping and transfer of goods by, or between various modes of transport, such as highway, rail, sea, and air.
• The load carrying area of a truck, trailer, or intermodal container.

In what circumstance can shortwood be treated as longwood?

• When it is stacked long-ways on the trailer.
• Right after it is cut down.
• When it is embedded in a stack of longwood.
• When it is painted green on the ends.

What's in a stack?

Some stacks may be made up of both shortwood and longwood. Any stack that includes shortwood must follow the shortwood securement requirements.

Exception: If shortwood is embedded in load of longwood, it can be treated as longwood.

Methods to keep a cradle from sliding include:

• Friction mats under the cradle.
• Nailed wood blocking or cleats.
• Placing a tiedown around the front of the cradle.
• These can all be used.
