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:

• Two 3/8 inch chains or wire ropes.
• Two nylon straps with aggregate WLL of 50% the weight of the load.
• One 3/8 inch chain or wire rope.
• Two 1/4 inch chains or wire ropes.

Which of the following is not a requirement for shortwood loaded lengthwise?

• Must be cradled in a bunk or contained by stakes.
• Each outside log bearing against stakes should extend at least 6 in beyond the stakes at each end.
• Heavier logs must be stacked on top.
• Logs should be centered in the bunk.

When using tiedowns to secure boulders, all of the following are requirements except:

• Boulders must be loaded as far back towards the rear as possible.
• Use only chain to secure large boulders.
• Tiedowns must be arranged to prevent sliding across the rock surface.
• Tiedowns should be located in valleys or notches across the top of the boulder.

Requirements

Use only chain to secure large boulders.

Tiedowns in direct contact with the boulder:

Should be located in valleys or notches across the top of the boulder

Must be arranged to prevent sliding across the rock surface.

When banding paper rolls with eyes vertical, you should:

• Apply bands loosely.
• Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means.
• All of these are necessary.
• Spread rolls apart from each other.

Banding

If paper rolls are banded together:

• Place rolls tightly against each other to form a stable group.
• Apply bands tightly.
• Secure bands with tape, hangers, or other means so that the bands cannot fall off the rolls or slide down to the deck.

In case of low friction between the cargo and deck, which of these is not a solution?

• Attach tiedowns to the cargo.
• Use some kind of blocking.
• Put something heavy on top of the cargo.
• Set the cargo on friction mats.

An intermodal container is:

• A platform or tray on which cargo is placed so that it can be handled as an article. (Same as "Skid")
• 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 vehicle especially built and fitted with locking devices for transport.
• 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.

What is the presumed resistance to horizontal movement of friction mats?

• 0
• 20% of cargo weight.
• 100% of cargo weight.
• 50% of cargo weight.

Which of the following are not covered by the specific log securement requirements?

• Logs unitized by banding or other comparable means.
• Firewood, stumps, debris, other short logs, and longer logs.
• Loads of no more than four processed logs.
• None of these are covered by the specific log requirements

When securing paper rolls with eyes crosswise, which of the following can be used to prevent side-to-side shifting when there is more than 8 inches of space to the wall?

• Void fillers.
• Tiedowns.
• Friction mats.
• Any of these methods are acceptable.

A dunnage bag is:

• A waterproof sheet used to cover cargo.
• An inflatable bag intended to fill otherwise empty space between articles of cargo, or between articles of cargo and the wall of the vehicle.
• A structure, device, or another substantial article placed against or around an article to prevent horizontal movement of the article.
• A transverse load bearing structural component, particularly a part of a log bunk.
