Part 1:

Question 1: You are preparing to transport a container that is 1,200 mm high, 650 mm long, and 1,000 mm wide. How should you position it on the truck so the load is stable?

Provide workings to justify your answer.

Question 2: Look at the following example of a delivery to be received by your warehouse.

Calculate the total storage space needed for each line in the order.

Number of Pallets	Pallet Type	Pallet Size			Pallet Storage Volume (m³)
		Length (cm)	Width (cm)	Height (cm)
10	Frozen	120	120	80
5	Chilled	120	120	110
1	Dangerous Goods	120	120	100
14	Secured	120	120	60
2	Dry	120	120	50
11	Perishable	120	120	100
3	Bulk	120	120	75
				TOTAL

Question 3: Evaluate the total storage space for each type of pallet.

Write the totals in the following table, and then determine whether enough storage space is available in your warehouse (assuming that the racking and shelving are suitable to carry the weight of pallets).

Storage Type	Available Space (m³)	Space Required (m³)	Storage Possible (Y/N)
Frozen	26.5
Chilled	5.0
Dangerous Goods	1.0
Secured	12.7
Dry	2.5
Perishable	17.0
Bulk	4.5

Question 4: Calculate the total weight for each type of pallet, and the grand total of pallet weights.

Number of Pallets	Pallet Type	Pallet weight	Total Weight
		Weight (Kg)
10	Frozen	350
5	Chilled	325
1	Dangerous Goods	180
14	Secured	125
2	Dry	180
11	Perishable	375
3	Bulk	375
		Total:

Question 1: What forces should a load restraint system resist?

Forwards

Sideways

Upwards

Average pre-tension
Lashing	Size	Tensioner	Pre-tension
Rope	10 12mm	Single hitch	50Kg
Rope	10 12mm	Double hitch	100Kg
Webbing strap	25mm	Hand ratchet	100Kg
	35mm	Hand ratchet	250Kg
	50mm	Truck winch	300Kg
	50mm	Hand ratchet (push up)	300Kg
	50mm	Hand ratchet (pull down)	600Kg
Chain	7mm and above	Dog	750Kg
Chain	7mm and above	Turnbuckle	1000Kg

• (National Transport Commission 2018)

Maximum weight restrained by a single lashing (60^o or more to horizontal)
	Front of load blocked?
	No		Yes
	Friction
	Medium	High	Medium	High
Rope (Single hitch)	85Kg	255Kg	340Kg	425Kg
Rope (Double hitch)	170Kg	510Kg	680Kg	850Kg
Webbing strap	510Kg	1530Kg	2040Kg	2550Kg
Chain	1275Kg	3825Kg	5100Kg	6375Kg

• If the load is a 7.5 tonne stack of fabrications the same width as the vehicle tray, resting on timber dunnage, blocked against the front of the vehicle and restrained by double hitched rope, the calculations are:

Question 2: What if the load is resting on rubber matting?

Question 3: What if a properly tensioned webbing strap (rather than rubber matting) is used to restrain the load?

Project 1

Identify three duty holders with chain of responsibility obligations in the transport sector.

Prepare a 4-6-page report describing their duties and responsibilities, highlighting differences between the roles.
Your report should outline:
o principal responsibilities
o duties
o reasonable steps
o methods to manage speed and fatigue
o documents and records
o reporting obligations
Your report should show that you have conducted the appropriate research into each role and its obligations.
