Category: Class C -4- Loading, Cargo Securing - Level 3

You are supposed to transport a container with your truck. What must you pay particular attention to?

For container loads, when selecting the necessary securing means, I may assume that only 25% of the load weight applies transverse to the direction of travel

If the container is not sealed, I must check the correct load securing in the container

For container loads, when selecting the necessary securing means, I may assume that only 40% of the load weight applies in the direction of travel

I may only open a container sealed with customs seals in case of imminent danger

Why must the load be secured in or on a truck?

So that load and vehicle are not damaged

So that the load definitely remains in or on the vehicle in an accident

So that the road is not damaged

So that driver, passenger and other road users are not endangered

Which forces can act on the load to the rear during driving?

An additional force when driving uphill

The centrifugal force when cornering and fast evasive maneuvers

The acceleration force when accelerating

The braking force when braking

You are supposed to transport a container with your truck. What must be observed when opening a container?

After opening a container with a customs seal, it is sufficient if the container is only resealed by the company

When opening the doors, it must be expected that inadequately secured cargo may fall out

After opening a container with a customs seal, the customs authorities must be notified immediately

Opening a container must be noted on the chart disc of the tachograph or on the daily printout of the digital tachograph

How great is the force against which the load must be secured to the side at minimum?

80% of the load weight

25% of the load weight

100% of the load weight

50% of the load weight

80% of the load weight

50% of the load weight

25% of the load weight

Which forces can act on the load to the front during driving?

The deceleration force when braking

An additional weight force when driving downhill

The acceleration force when accelerating

The centrifugal force when cornering and fast evasive maneuvers

8 / 15

Which forces can act on the load sideways during driving?

The acceleration force when accelerating

An additional weight force when driving downhill

The braking force when braking

The centrifugal force when cornering and fast evasive maneuvers

You are securing pallets on the loading platform of your truck. What advantages does the use of anti-slip mats bring for load securing?

Sliding of the load is no longer possible

In this case I no longer have to observe the maximum permissible payload in the registration certificate of the truck

Significantly fewer lashing equipment is necessary

The friction coefficient is thereby increased

You want to secure the load on your truck with a lashing strap. What must you check on the lashing strap?

It must not be too heavily torn

The tensioning element (the ratchet) of the lashing strap must not be heavily corroded

It may not be used for longer than 1 year

It must have a legible label

You are supposed to transport round timber with your truck. The round timber is loaded lengthwise in the direction of travel on the loading platform. What must you observe?

In the loading area, at least two wedge, toothed or ribbed strips per timber stack must be present in the transverse direction on the loading platform. These must be designed so that they secure the bottom layer of logs form-fit

Each timber stack must be held by at least 2 suitable stanchion pairs or other cargo space boundaries

If the load is secured by form-fit, the vehicle must have a sufficiently dimensioned front wall

The logs directly adjacent to the stanchions must be overtopped by the stanchions by at least approximately 20 centimeters. Loading above the height of the front wall is not permitted

You are supposed to transport round timber with your truck. The round timber is loaded lengthwise in the direction of travel on the loading platform. What must you observe when securing the load?

If the load is secured by form-fit, at least one lashing equipment tensioned by hand force must be used per timber stack to counteract the effects of road unevenness

Chains or ropes may not be used for securing round timber

If the load is secured by tie-down lashing, the weight of the layer of logs resting on the wedge, toothed or ribbed strips can be disregarded when determining the necessary pretensioning forces

If the load is secured by tie-down lashing, the ratchets of the lashing equipment should be used alternately on the right and left side of the vehicle. This achieves the most even possible distribution of the pretensioning forces

14 / 15

In which cases must the load be held securely by the load securing?

During emergency braking

During rear-end collisions

During sharp evasive maneuvers

When leaving the road

You want to secure the load on the loading platform of your truck with anti-slip mats. What do you observe?

Anti-slip mats should also be placed between the individual parts or layers of the load

That the entire cargo space must be lined with anti-slip mats

That the cargo does not touch the floor of the cargo space directly at any point

All plastic films are suitable as anti-slip mats
