Go!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.
If loading and securing paper rolls on a second layer:
A container chassis vehicle is defined as:
A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.
To prevent rolling, how many points of contact are required, at minimum, for a boulder resting on a rounded or partially rounded side?
If the flattest side of the boulder is rounded or partially rounded, place the boulder in a crib made of hardwood fixed to deck of vehicle.
Boulder should rest on both deck and timber, with at least 3 well-separated points of contact that prevent rolling in any direction.
When using tiedowns to secure boulders, all of the following are requirements except:
Use only chain to secure large boulders.
Should be located in valleys or notches across the top of the boulder
Must be arranged to prevent sliding across the rock surface.
When securing concrete pipe with a diameter up to 45 inches loaded crosswise as a group, a crosswise tiedown should be used every how many feet?
Place lengthwise tiedowns over the group of pipes:
Either one 13 mm (1/2 in) chain or wire rope,
Or two 10 mm (3/8 in) diameter chain or wire rope
Either attach the side-to-side tiedown through a pipe
Or pass the tiedown over both front-to-back tiedowns between two pipes on the top tier.
When loading and securing a boulder, it should be:
Place each boulder on the vehicle with its flattest and/or largest side down.
Support each boulder on at least two pieces of hardwood blocking (at least 10 cm x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) that extend the full width of the boulder.
Place hardwood blocking pieces as symmetrically as possible under the boulder so they support at least 3/4 of the length of the boulder.
Define 'bolster':
A crosswise load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
Aggregate Working Load Limit is defined as:
The summation of the working load limits or restraining capacity of all devices used to secure an article on a vehicle.
When loading paper rolls with eyes horizontal, which of the following is not a requirement for stacking a second layer:
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.
