Practice question

What must a truck driver do when cargo consists of high, top-heavy machinery prone to tipping (Kippgefahr)?

  1. Calculate only the sliding risk because a restraint sufficient against sliding also proves tipping stability
  2. Use top-over lashings at maximum hand force without checking whether they provide enough anti-tipping moment
  3. Attach restraints to convenient machine parts without confirming that they are approved lashing points
  4. Use the cargo and vehicle data to assess sliding and tipping, follow an approved load-securing plan, and use rated blocking and direct restraints at manufacturer-approved points

Answer: D — Use the cargo and vehicle data to assess sliding and tipping, follow an approved load-securing plan, and use rated blocking and direct restraints at manufacturer-approved points
