NY Metal Coil Endorsement - Questions With Verified
Solutions
How are tiedowns used to secure a row of metal coils with eyes vertical on a
flatbed vehicle with anchor points? Correct Answer - At least one direct
tiedown against the front of the row of coils (to restrain against forward
motion) and at least one other direct tiedown against the rear of the row (to
restrain against rearward motion), making an angle of 45 degrees or less with
the floor. At least one indirect tiedown over the top of each coil or side by sire
row of coils (to restrain against vertical motion).
Transportation of one or more metal coils weighing 5,000 pounds or more,
individually or bundled together, must comply with all of the following
EXCEPT Correct Answer - General cargo securement rules for flatbed
vehicles, van-type vehicles or intermodal containers that have anchor points.
To transport several metal coils whose combined aggregate weight is 4,000
pounds on pallets on a flatbed trailer, which of the following is NOT required
to be met? Correct Answer - Metal coil endorsement on the CDL
The aggregate working load limit of all indirect tiedowns is Correct
Answer - The sum of the working load limits for each indirect tiedown
The sum of the working load limits (WLL) from all tiedowns must be at least
_____ of the weight of the cargo. Correct Answer - 50%
_________ is an effective way to prevent rolling and provides the most
restraining force. Correct Answer - A cradle that has an angle oof 45
degrees
Suppose that only two direct tiedowns are used. Both are attached to one side
of the vehicle only, and each has a working load limit of 6,000 pounds. Then
the aggregate working load limit for the two tiedowns is Correct Answer -
6000 lbs
, If you're using indirect tiedowns but friction is low between the deck and the
cargo, consider using Correct Answer - any of the above
direct tiedowns
Friction mats or other friction enhancing devices
What are the requirements for securing a row of metal coils with eyes
lengthwise? Correct Answer - Support the coils above the deck. Attach at
least two indirect tiedowns over each coil or side by side row. Use blocking or
friction mats.
To secure metal coils with their eyes lengthwise, what should you use to
prevent forward movement of the coils? Correct Answer - Either above
*Blocking
*Friction Mats
To secure metal coils with their eyes crosswise, which means of securement is
prohibited? Correct Answer - Direct tiedowns attached diagonally
through the eye of the coil to form an X pattern
What is the most important securement task? Correct Answer - To
prevent an article of cargo from moving forward
When is use of a friction mat recommended? Correct Answer - When the
deck or coil is soaked with oil.
Which of the following statements regarding securement components and
assemblies is FALSE? Correct Answer - Carriers should never use
components that are not marked by the manufacturer
Which of the possible components of the Aggregate Working Load Limit for
tiedowns is not correct here? Correct Answer - The WLL (working load
limit) of each tiedown that attaches to an anchor point on the vehicle, passes
through, over, or around the article of cargo, and then attaches to an anchor
point on the same side of the vehicle
When being secured, all types of cargo must be Correct Answer - Either
of the above
*Fully contained or immobilized by the structures of adequate strength
*Immobilized on or within a vehicle by appropriate means
