Go!To secure a cubic-shaped boulder, how many tiedowns are required, at minimum?
The securement of a cubic-shaped boulder must meet these requirements in addition to the other large boulder requirements in Section 13.
Secure each boulder individually with at least two chain tiedowns placed side-to-side across the vehicle.
Place tiedowns as closely as possible to the hardwood blocking used to support the boulder.
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:
The Aggregate Working Load Limit should, at minimum, be:
The aggregate working load limit of any securement system must be at least 50% of the weight of the cargo being secured.
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.
In case of low friction between the cargo and deck, which of these is not a solution?
When there is low friction between the cargo and the deck (for example, with snow, ice, sand, gravel, and oil):
What is the minimum securement requirement for paper rolls with eyes vertical with a width between 1.25 and 1.76 its diameter?
The friction mat alone is adequate. The friction mat allows the roll to slide on the floor without tripping the roll.
When securing rows of coils, requirements include all of the following except:
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.
As part of the log packing requirements:
Requirements for securing heavy vehicles, equipment, and machinery apply at what weight?
The requirements in this section apply to the transportation of heavy vehicles, equipment, and machinery that:
A bulkhead is defined as:
A vertical barrier across a vehicle to prevent forward movement of cargo.
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.
