31.3 Contractors

PLAN
 Contractors are responsible for ensuring that activities undertaken within the scope
of their contracts and subcontracts are managed in accordance with the
requirements of this guide.
 Contractors transport supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the vehicles
used to transport cargo and equipment are appropriate and fit for service, and
drivers are provided with the skills and equipment necessary to secure their loads
prior to commencing operations.
 Contractors’ drivers are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the cargo they carry
is secure prior to commencing operations and for inspections at regular intervals
during a trip.
31.4 Vehicle Structure
 Table 1 describes the main securement system components within a cargo

transport vehicle:
 All elements of the vehicle structure and anchor points shall be free of any defect,
damage or homemade modifications.
 All elements of vehicle structure and anchor points shall be in good working order
and without any obvious damage, distress, weakened parts or weakened sections.
31.5 Securing Devices (tie-downs)

PLAN
 A securing device, integral locking device, movable structure or blocking device

used to secure cargo shall be secured in a manner that prevents it from becoming
unfastened while the vehicle is in motion.
 Securing devices listed in Table 2 are specifically manufactured to attach or secure
cargo to a vehicle or trailer, including:
 Securing devices can be combined to form an assembly that attaches or restrains

cargo on a vehicle attached to anchor point(s).
 Securing devices shall be designed, constructed and maintained so the driver can
tighten them.
 All components of a securing device or tie down shall be in proper working order
without any obvious damage, distress, weakened parts or weakened sections.
 Each securing device shall be attached and secured so it does not become loose or
unfastened, opened or released during transit.
 Edge protection shall be used if a tie down could be cut or torn when touching an
article of cargo. The edge protection itself shall resist crushing, cutting and abrasion.
31.6 Dunnage
 Wooden dunnage is permitted to be used to facilitate the loading and unloading of

material by a forklift or crane.
 Dunnage material shall be strong enough to support the portion of the load
(including lashing) and does not become crushed during transport.
PLAN
 Dunnage shall be used to increases the stability of the load when the vehicle is
stationary or when in motion.
 Dunnage shall be placed so it does not rotate out of position, break or slip out of
place.
 When dunnage is used between portions of a stacked load, it shall be positioned in
a vertical line and lashed directly across the dunnage so it cannot work itself free.
Chocks: Chocks shall be secured to the transport vehicle (and not to the load) to
prevent them slipping from place or falling off onto the roadway.
32. SECURING EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENT
The appropriate cargo securing equipment shall be selected based on the type and
configuration of the load being transported. Transport equipment providers shall ensure
that the correct securing equipment is available at all times. The following are the most
frequently used securing devices that shall be used:
 Tie down lashings are most effective when tied vertically between the load and the
tie point. If it is not vertical, the effectiveness of the lashing is reduced below 100%.
 Steel chains and web lashings are the most commonly used while transporting
cargo on roads.
32.1 Webbing Strap Lashings
 Web lashing are tensioned using a ratchet system by:

 Truck winch on trailer side, or
 Hand ratchet winch (part of webbing assembly).
Webbing Strap Arrangement
PLAN
 For loads requiring nylon webbing as a restraint, webbing of a minimum 50 mm

width shall be used.
 The webbing shall be in good condition, not frayed or showing signs of excessive
wear, stitching damage, chemical corrosion, or sunlight exposure damage. Damage
can be assessed by the hairy appearance of the fibers.
 Web lashing shall have a label reflecting the following information:
 Standard Tension Force (STF)
 Web lashing material used
 Latching Capacity (LC)
 Length
 Compliance code (e.g., 12195-2)
 Date of production
32.2 Wire Rope Lashings
 Steel wire ropes made up into special straps or slings are suitable for securing a
load when used in conjunction with other devices such as 4-part shackles, thimbles
and turnbuckles. They are tensioned by:
 Winch type tensioners fixed on the vehicle,
 Separate ratchet type tensioners, or
 Short web lashings with a ratchet tensioner.
 Steel wire ropes are especially suitable for securing steel building mats. The
Lashing Capacity (LC) value of steel wire ropes is indicated by the producer.
PLAN
 The strength of steel wire rope will depend on:

 The grade of the steel used and the number of strands
 The number of wires in each strand
 The diameter of the rope and the method of construction.
 Wire ropes shall have a Safe Working Load (SWL) compatible with the requirements
of the load being carried
32.3 Steel Chains Lashings
 These chains are often short link chains with specific hooks or rings to be fixed on
the vehicle and/or the cargo. Chains shall only be used in conjunction with suitable
tensioners and turnbuckles with a safe working load that is compatible with that of
the chain.
 EN 12195-3 describes chains that can be used for lashing cargo for road transport
and specifies that the tensioning devices shall have facilities that prevent loosening.
 Three properties determine the strength of a chain:
 The length of its links,
 The thickness of its links, and
 The quality of the metal used.
 The longer the link, the more susceptible the chain is to damage – long links can
easily be deformed if they are tensioned over a corner.
 The chain used shall be compatible with the requirements of the load carried. Strong
packing or beveled sections shall be used on corners or sharp edges to prevent
damage to the ropes and chains. This increases the radius around which they bend,
thus increasing their effective strength
 Certified Chains, including different types of hooks, shall be used according to the
specifications of this requirement.
 Hooks shall be in accordance with GI 7.029 and ASME B30.10 or equivalent.
 An open hook is meant to be fixed in a ring that is designed for that purpose, never
in a conventional link of a chain. A Claw hook is meant to be hooked over a link of a
chain.

PLAN
Chain Hook Types
 Damaged chains shall not be used and taken out of circulation. The strength of a
worn out chain is unreliable. As a rule of thumb, a chain is worn out as soon as its
length is more than 3% longer than its recorded length.
32.4 Tensioners
 Tensioners make it easy to tighten any kind of lashing and secures the lashing from
becoming inadvertently loose by increasing the clamping force on the load.
 The most common type of tensioners used are described in below table:
 Securing and tensioning shall always be done before the transport starts, even if the
ride is short.
32.5 Truck Winches

PLAN
 Truck winches are located on the side of the trailer and are used to tension webbing
straps or wire ropes.
 Webbing straps and wire rope are tensioned using attached clip-on sliding winches
or in-line tensioners as shown in below table.
Truck Winch Types
 The attached ‘truck winches’ clip onto the tie-rails or slide into special tracks under
the coaming rails.
32.6 Hand Ratchet
 The amount of tension produced by a truck winch or hand ratchet depends on the
length of the handle and how large the diameter of the webbing spool becomes
during tightening.
 Hand ratchets, shown in below table, that operate by pulling the handle downwards
will normally produce much more tension than truck winches.
Webbing Strap with Hand Ratchet
32.7 Side Stakes/Stanchions

Vehicles or trailers shall have a minimum of four side-stakes/stanchions on each side to
prevent sideways movement of the load.

PLAN
Where tie-down lashings do not prevent the pipe in each layer from rolling, the side
stanchions shall be strong enough to provide the required sideways restraint for each layer
of pipe.
Pipe Stacked in Two or more Tiers
32.8 Tie-down lashings
 Tie-down web lashings shall be sufficiently tensioned to provide adequate

downward restraint and prevent sideways, frontal or rearward movement.
 Forty-foot lengths of pipe and tubulars shall be restrained by webbing with a
minimum of four web straps of 4 inch (100 mm) width, and minimum of four
stanchions/side stakes per side.
 Steel chains shall not be used to secure steel pipe or tubulars.
 Chains and chain binders shall not be used to tension steel pipe. The use of web
lashings (minimum 50 mm, 100 mm) is preferred.
Dunnage
 Shaped dunnage (Figure 23) or racks shall be used when possible to keep the load
from sliding or rolling under the lashings.
 Rubber load mats significantly increase friction if placed between the layers of pipe.
Their use is strongly recommended particularly if the pipe/tubular stack is not
peaked (e.g., pyramid shaped or crowned load). Rubber mats prevent inner lengths
of pipe moving rearward if tensioned incorrectly by direct contact with the web
lashing.
Pipe Securing with Dunnage

PLAN
Pipe Cradles
 Large diameter pipe greater than 50inches (1270mm) in diameter shall be tied down
on specially fabricated cradles that prevent rolling distributing the weight evenly over
the vehicle
Cradled Pipe
32.9 General Cargo

 General cargo covers a combination of different types of loads that can vary
significantly in mass, size and shape. General cargo can comprise a large number
of smaller items including boxes, cartons, crates, bags and plastic containers, but
often includes large items such as pallets, cable reels, tires and machinery.
Separate lashings shall be used for large individual loads.
 Separate lashings shall be used for individual items unless the items are blocked in,
unitized or contained as detailed in this standard. All general cargo shall have the
PLAN
load secured ensuring it will not dislodge, cause the vehicle to become unstable, or
fall out during unloading operations.
Lashing Various Loads
 General cargo shall preferably be contained in a truck fitted with side gates, with
individual tightly lashed with crossed webbing and cargo nets.
