Practice question

In cargo transport guidelines, how does the 'friction coefficient' affect your load securing calculations?

  1. It measures the wind resistance of the trailer curtains
  2. It represents the resistance to sliding between the load and the vehicle bed; higher friction reduces the required lashing force
  3. It determines the engine torque required to move the vehicle
  4. It measures the wear rate of the brake pads

Answer: B — It represents the resistance to sliding between the load and the vehicle bed; higher friction reduces the required lashing force
