Go!When securing flattened or crushed cars on a vehicle with containment on 2 sides, how many tiedowns, at minimum, are required?
Has containment walls on two sides that:
Secures each stack of vehicles with a minimum of three tiedowns, each having a minimum WLL of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb.).
An anchor point is defined as:
Part of the structure, fitting, or attachment on a vehicle or cargo to which a tiedown is attached.
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):
When securing a paper roll with a width that is more than twice its diameter, which of the following is not an acceptable method of securement to prevent tipping?
A container chassis vehicle is defined as:
A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.
What is a cab shield?
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 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.
When securing rolls of paper with eyes vertical, how many points of contact are required to consider a roll secure?
Usually the roll is secure if a paper roll has 3 well-separated points of contact with the vehicle, other rolls, or other cargo.
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.
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.
