Go!What is bell pipe concrete?
Pipe whose flanged end is of larger diameter than its barrel.
When securing paper rolls with eyes vertical in a sided vehicle all of the following are acceptable except:
Requirements for securing a non-cubic shaped boulder with a stable base include all of the following except:
Secure each boulder individually with at least two chain tiedowns forming an X pattern over the boulder.
Pass the tiedowns over the center of the boulder and attach them to each other at the intersection by a shackle or other connecting device.
When securing building materials, spacer requirements include all of the following except:
Define 'bolster':
A crosswise load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
Which of the following is not a requirement for shortwood loaded lengthwise?
When securing paper rolls with friction mats as a primary method:
If a friction mat is used to provide the principal securement for a paper roll, insert the friction mat so that it sticks out from beneath the footprint of the roll in the direction in which it is providing securement.
All of the following are requirements for transporting coils with eyes crosswise except:
Prevent the coil from rolling
Attach one tiedown forward.
Attach one tiedown rearward.
When securing concrete pipe with a diameter up to 45 inches loaded crosswise as a group,lengthwise tiedowns should be either one 1/2 in chain or wire rope, or:
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
To satisfy general cargo securement requirements, what is the minimum WLL for securing vehicles under 10,000 lbs?
Note: More tiedowns may be required to satisfy the general cargo securement requirements. The Standard states: "The sum of the working load limits from all tiedowns must be at least 50% of the weight of the 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.
