Go!A stack of shortwood loaded lengthwise can be secured with one tiedown if:
A stack can be secured with one tiedown if all logs in the stack less than 3.04 m (10 ft) are:
To satisfy general cargo securement requirements, what is the minimum WLL for securing vehicles under 10,000 lbs?
Note: More tiedowns may be required to satisfy the general cargo securement requirements. The Standard states: "The sum of the working load limits from all tiedowns must be at least 50% of the weight of the cargo."
What is a pallet used for?
A platform or tray on which cargo is placed so that it can be handled as an article. (Same as "Skid")
When securing an intermodal container on a chassis, what is the maximum allowable vertical travel when secured?
Securing devices must restrain the container from moving more than:
The North American Cargo Securement Standard cover vehicles weighing:
If the cargo is fully contained in a sided vehicle, what is the minimum requirement for withstanding sideways force?
Note: If the cargo is contained in a sided vehicle, the vehicle structure MUST be strong enough to withstand the forces described earlier.
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.
When securing building materials, spacer requirements include all of the following except:
In what circumstance can shortwood be treated as longwood?
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.
Option #1 for securing coils transported with eyes lengthwise includes:
Attach at least one tiedown diagonally from the left side of the vehicle, through the eye, to the right side of the vehicle. If possible, the angle between the tiedown and the deck should be less than 45, when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
Attach at least one tiedown diagonally from the right side of the vehicle, through the eye, to the left side of the vehicle. If possible, the angle between the tiedown and the deck should be less than 45, when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
Attach at least one tiedown side-to-side over the top of the coil.
Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward 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.
