Go!How many knots are acceptable in a properly working tiedown?
All components of a tiedown must be in proper working order.
Requirements for securing two stacks of shortwood loaded side-by-side include:
In addition to the requirements for shortwood loaded crosswise, load two stacks side-by-side so that:
A dunnage bag is:
An inflatable bag intended to fill otherwise empty space between articles of cargo, or between articles of cargo and the wall of the vehicle.
What is the minimum weight of a load of metal coils that requires specific securement practices?
All metal coil shipments that, individually or together, weigh 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.) or more must be secured according to the specific requirements in this section.
Exception: Metal coils that weigh less than 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.) may be secured according to general securement requirements.
Which of the following is not a requirement of wood used as blocking or bracing?
If wood is used:
Banding is:
A strip of material that may be used to unitize articles and is tensioned and clamped or crimped back upon itself. (same as "Strapping")
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.
What is bell pipe concrete?
Pipe whose flanged end is of larger diameter than its barrel.
Define 'bolster':
A crosswise load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
When securing concrete pipe over 45 inches loaded crosswise, which direction must the tiedowns on the rear half of the load run?
Secure each pipe with tiedowns through the pipe.
Run at least one tiedown through each pipe in the front half of the load. This includes the middle one if there are an odd number. The tiedown must run rearward at an angle not more than 45° with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practicable.
Run at least one tiedown through each pipe in the rear half of the load. The tiedown must run forward at an angle not more than 45° with the horizontal when viewed from the side of the vehicle, whenever practicable. This holds each pipe firmly in contact with adjacent pipe.
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.
