You want to secure a load by tie-down lashing. What influence do the lashing angles have on the achievable securing forces of a lashing equipment?

Up to a lashing angle of 83°, the achievable securing force is acceptable. No deductions are necessary when assuming the achievable securing force

At a lashing angle below 35°, the achievable securing force is greatest

At lashing angles between 83° and 35°, corresponding deductions are necessary when assuming the achievable securing force. These can be taken from tables etc.

At a lashing angle of 90°, the achievable securing force is greatest

Which of the following statements apply to the lashing points on the body of a truck?

I must inform myself about the permissible load of the lashing points if there are no markings for this on the vehicle

Lashing points must always have a strength of at least 2,500 daN, even if there are no markings for this

On many trucks there are stickers that provide information about the permissible load of the lashing points

Lashing points must always have a strength of at least 1,000 daN, even if there are no markings for this

Load can be secured on the loading platform by form-fit. What is understood by "form-fit"?

The load is connected to the fixed devices on the vehicle so that it cannot move independently, such as by lashing straps or lashing chains, chocks and the like

The friction between cargo and load is increased, for example by using anti-slip mats and by tie-down lashing

The load is only secured on its surface, for example by a net or a cover tarpaulin

The load stands directly against a fixed vehicle device, such as front wall, side wall, stanchions and the like

7 / 15

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

What do you have to observe when using lashing chains?

Only special shortening hooks may be used for adjusting the chain length

The weight of the lashing chain must be adapted to the load weight

Lashing chains may not be used together with lashing straps made of synthetic fibers for diagonal lashing of the same load

The lashing chains must be oiled regularly

8 / 15

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

You want to secure a load by tie-down lashing. What does the number of lashing equipment to be used depend on?

The existing friction between load and loading platform

The pretensioning force STF of the lashing equipment used

The weight of the load to be secured

The load distribution according to the load distribution plan

9 / 15

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

When may you not use a lashing strap for load securing?

When the color has faded

With contamination of the webbing

With damage to the seams

With cuts in load-bearing fibers over more than 10% of the width

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

Your truck has a platform body with drop sides and tarpaulin cover. What loads must a vehicle body withstand at minimum if it is certified according to EN 12642 "Code L"?

The side drop boards must withstand at least 24% of the maximum permissible payload

The side tarpaulin covers must withstand at least 6% of the maximum permissible payload

The side drop boards must withstand at least 30% of the maximum permissible payload

The rear wall must withstand at least 25% of the maximum permissible payload, but maximum 3,100 daN (3.1 t)

11 / 15

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

How can you tell on a lashing chain that it may no longer be used?

If visible deformations or cracks are recognizable on the chain links or on the connecting elements

If a chain link has become thinner by more than 10% of the nominal thickness

If no marking with the specifications about the permissible lashing force is present

If a chain link is stretched by more than 3% of the nominal length

What loads must a vehicle body withstand at minimum if it is certified according to EN 12642 "Code XL"?

The side walls must withstand at least 60% of the maximum permissible payload

The side walls must withstand at least 40% of the maximum permissible payload

The front wall must withstand at least 50% of the maximum permissible payload

The front wall must withstand at least 80% of the maximum permissible payload

You want to secure the load on your truck by tie-down lashing. What should you observe?

With sharp-edged loads, the lashing straps must be protected by edge protectors

The webbing must have wound around the tensioning roller of the tensioning element at least four times after tightening

The load should be stable enough so that it does not deform from the tie-down lashing

That the permissible pretensioning force of the ratchet (STF) is large enough to sufficiently secure the load weight

You want to secure a load by diagonal lashing. How tightly must the lashing equipment be pretensioned at minimum?

As tight as possible with the ratchet

With the permissible pretensioning force of the tensioning equipment

Only hand-tight so that the lashing equipment does not sag

Just as tight as with tie-down lashing
