NYS Metal Coil Endorsement Practice
E x a m Questions and Answers
1. How are tiedowns used to secure a row of metal coils with eyes
vertical on a flatbed vehicle with anchor points?
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).
2. 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-
Answer General cargo securement rules for flatbed vehicles, van-type vehicles or intermodal containers
that have anchor points.
3. 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?
Answer Metal coil endorsement on the CDL
4. The aggregate working load limit of all indirect tiedowns is
1/
10
, Answer The sum of the working load limits for each indirect tiedown
5. The sum of the working load limits (WLL) from all tiedowns must be
at least
of the weight of the cargo.
Answer 50%
6. is an effective way to prevent rolling and provides the most
restrain- ing force.
Answer A cradle that has an angle oof 45 degrees
7. 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
Answer 6000 lbs
8. If you're using indirect tiedowns but friction is low between the deck
and the cargo, consider using
Answer any of the above
direct tiedowns
Friction mats or other friction enhancing devices
9. What are the requirements for securing a row of metal coils with eyes
length- wise?
