Go!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")
Which of the following is not a method of securing side-by-side cargo?
Either place them in direct contact with each other,
Or prevent them from shifting towards each other in transit by using blocking or filling the space with other cargo.
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.
In terms of cargo securement, what is a 'well'?
The depression formed between two cylindrical articles when they are laid with their eyes horizontal and parallel against each other.
When a tiedown is attached directly to the cargo, what is the ideal angle where it attached to the vehicle?
The angle where the tiedown attaches to the vehicle should be shallow, not deep (ideally less than 45).
When securing building materials, spacer requirements include all of the following except:
What is the minimum amount of rearward force that a cargo securement system must withstand?
Each cargo securement system must be able to withstand a minimum amount of force in each direction.
What is the minimum WLL required of tiedowns securing loaded intermodal containers on non-chassis vehicles?
Secure each container to the vehicle by:
Secure the front and rear of the loaded container independently.
Secure the four corners using tiedowns that are attached to the loaded container.
The tiedowns must have an aggregate working load limit of at least 50% of the loaded weight of the loaded container.
Attach each chain, wire rope, or integral locking device to the container in a manner that prevents it from becoming unfastened while in transit.
Option #3 for securing metal coils transported with eyes lengthwise includes all of the following except:
Option #3 is the same as Options #1 and #2, except that the two tiedowns that attach through the eye of the coil are replaced with two tiedowns that pass over the front and the rear of the coil.
Attach at least one tiedown over the top of the coil near the front of the coil.
Attach at least one tiedown over the top of the coil near the rear 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.
