• Securing devices.

What is a securement system?

A securement system is a securement method that uses one or a combination of the following elements:

• Vehicle Structure.
• Securing Devices.
• Blocking and Bracing Equipment.

To satisfy general cargo securement requirements, what is the minimum WLL for securing vehicles under 10,000 lbs?

• 10,000 lbs.
• 4,500 lbs.
• 30% of the weight of the cargo.
• 50% of the weight of the cargo.

A container chassis vehicle is defined as:

• A reusable, transportable enclosure that is especially designed with integral locking devices that secure it to a container chassis trailer to facilitate the efficient and bulk shipping and transfer of goods by, or between various modes of transport, such as highway, rail, sea, and air.
• A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for the transport of intermodal containers.
• A specialized container, primarily used to contain and transport materials in the waste, recycling, construction/demolition, and scrap industries, which are used in conjunction with specialized vehicles, in which the container isloaded and unloaded onto a tilt frame body by an articulating hook-arm.
• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against an article to prevent it from tipping that may also prevent it from shifting.

What is the minimum Working Load Limit for the entire securement system?

• 20% of cargo weight.
• 80% of cargo weight.
• 100% of cargo weight.
• 50% of cargo weight.

To prevent rolling, how many points of contact are required, at minimum, for a boulder resting on a rounded or partially rounded side?

• 5
• 2
• 4
• 3

Requirements

If the flattest side of the boulder is rounded or partially rounded, place the boulder in a crib made of hardwood fixed to deck of vehicle.

Boulder should rest on both deck and timber, with at least 3 well-separated points of contact that prevent rolling in any direction.

Who is responsible for inspecting securing devices and cargo within the first 50 miles?

• 0

When securing paper rolls on a flatbed or curtainside vehicle, it is acceptable to stack rolls with eyes vertical:

• When temperature is 63 degrees F or more.
• Stacking rolls with eyes vertical is not acceptable
• When using tiedowns that wrap twice around the load.
• When total weight is less than 5,000 lbs.

An intermodal container is:

• A specialized container, primarily used to contain and transport materials in the waste, recycling, construction/demolition, and scrap industries, which are used in conjunction with specialized vehicles, in which the container isloaded and unloaded onto a tilt frame body by an articulating hook-arm.
• A reusable, transportable enclosure that is especially designed with integral locking devices that secure it to a container chassis trailer to facilitate the efficient and bulk shipping and transfer of goods by, or between various modes of transport, such as highway, rail, sea, and air.
• A platform or tray on which cargo is placed so that it can be handled as an article. (Same as "Skid")
• A vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for transport.

Aggregate Working Load Limit is defined as:

• 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).
• The summation of the working load limits or restraining capacity of all devices used to secure an article on a vehicle.
• The maximum weight of a load of rocks that a securement device can withstand.
• The maximum load that may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service, usually assigned by the manufacturer of the component.
