Metal coils endorsement (NYS)
1. What types of commercial vehicles are required to comply with the cargo securement
regulations? - Correct answer trucks, truck tractors, semi-trailers, full trailers and tractor-pole
trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 lbs.
2. What is the minimum amount of force that a cargo securement system should be expected to
withstand when traveling on a curve, ramp or when changing lanes? - Correct answerThe
minimum side-to-side or lateral force = 50% of the cargo weight when traveling on a curve or
ramp, changing lanes or turning.

expressed in terms of gravity ("g")? - Correct answer0.5 g.
4. What is the definition of Working Load Limit (WLL)? - Correct answerThe maximum load that
may be applied to a component of a cargo securement system during normal service; it is
usually assigned by the manufacturer of the component.

9. What is the working load limit of unmarked 2-inch synthetic webbing? - Correct answer2,000
lbs.
10. If a metal coil is secured with 3/8-inch chains that do not display a grade rating, what is the
default strength rating assigned to each chain? - Correct answer2,650 lbs.

11. Transportation of one or more metal coils (individually or bundled together) weighing 5,000 lbs.
or more, must comply with which load securement requirement? - Correct answerMetal coil
specific securement rules apply. Endorsement "M".
12. How are tiedowns used to secure coils transported with eyes vertical on a flatbed vehicle, in a
sided vehicle or intermodal container with anchor points? - Correct answerIf the coil is fastened
to a pallet, the pallet must be strong enough so it cannot collapse under the forces described in
the performance criteria (Section 1).
13. Tiedowns must be arranged in the following manner to prevent coils from tipping in the
forward, rearward, and side-to-side (lateral) directions;
1. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the left side of the vehicle, across the eye
of the coil, to the right side of the vehicle;
2. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the right side of the vehicle, across the
eye of the coil, to the left side of the vehicle;
3. At least one indirect tiedown attached side-to-side over the eye of the coil;
4. Either blocking and bracing, friction mats or direct tiedowns must be used to prevent forward -
rearward movement.
14. What structure or device is used to prevent longitudinal movement of the coil in the forward
direction? - Correct answerAt least one direct tiedown is required through its eye, restricting
forward motion.
15. Which means of securement is prohibited when transporting coils with the coil eye crosswise on
the vehicle? - Correct answerAttaching direct tiedown diagonally through the eye of a coil to
form an X-pattern is prohibited.
16. The sum of the working load limits (WLL) from all tiedowns must be at least what percentage of
the weight of the coils? - Correct answerAt least 50% of the weight of the coils.
, Metal coils endorsement (NYS)
17. When is the use of a friction mat recommended? - Correct answerWhen the deck or coil is
soaked with oil.
18. What are the requirements for securing metal coils with eyes lengthwise? (Option #1) - Correct
answer1. Support the coil above the deck to prevent the coil from rolling.
19. 2. Attach at least one direct tiedown on each diagonal through the eye of the coil making an
angle of not more than 45 degrees with the floor of vehicle when viewed from the side.
20. 3. Attach at least one indirect tiedown side-to-side over the top of the coil.
5. Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.
21. What are the requirements for securing metal coils with eyes lengthwise? (Option #2) - Correct
answerSame as Option #1, except the direct tiedowns are straight instead of diagonal.
22. What are the requirements for securing metal coils with eyes lengthwise? (Option #3) - Correct
answer1. Support the coil above the deck to prevent the coil from rolling.
23. 2. Two indirect tiedowns are attached over the front and rear parts of the coil.
24. 3. Use blocking or friction mats to prevent forward movement.
25. What types of commercial vehicles are required to comply with the cargo securement
regulations? - Correct answertrucks, truck tractors, semi-trailers, full trailers and tractor-pole
trailers with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 lbs.
