Go!Securing heavy vehicles or equipment with crawler tracks or wheel requires a minimum of how many tiedowns?
What is bell pipe concrete?
Pipe whose flanged end is of larger diameter than its barrel.
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.
A sided vehicle containing cargo weighing 35,980 lbs must be able to withstand a rearward force of at least:
Note: If the cargo is contained in a sided vehicle, the vehicle structure MUST be strong enough to withstand the forces described earlier.
The term 'edge protector' refers to:
A device placed on the exposed edge of an article to distribute tiedown forces over a larger area of cargo than the tiedown itself, to protect the tie-down and/or cargo from damage, and to allow the tiedown to slide freely when being tensioned.
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.
Cargo securement for a load weighing 37,000 lbs must be able to withstand a minimum forward braking force of:
Each cargo securement system must be able to withstand a minimum amount of force in each direction.
High friction securement devices include:
To secure paper rolls with eyes horizontal against rearward movement, you can use which of the following except:
Methods to Prevent Movement:
What is the minimum Working Load Limit for the entire securement system?
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.
