3 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR LOADING AND SECURING A CARGO 1.1 APPLICATION OF THE GUIDELINES These guidelines apply for all road vehicles carrying the steel sheets (bundles, coils, coil strips) and pipes from U.S. Steel Kosice s.r.o. (USSK) to our customers. Given the diversity of cargo carried, guidelines contain cargo securing principles for individual types of load. Guidelines are based on current cargo securing standards and measured results of selected cargoes. Cargo securing instructions are based on the estimated parameters as e.g. cargo weight, dimensions, friction factors, lashing angles, tensioning forces, lashing forces, use of anti-slip mats and the like. These guidelines are minimum requirements to protect our goods. They do not indemnify the carrier from his responsibility to take additional measures as he may deem necessary mainly in case of difficult loadings, difficult weather conditions (ice, snow, icing...) DRIVER BEHAVIOR Drivers must follow work safety regulations in USSK. Drivers must wear personal protective equipment (PPE) according instructions in way-bills! The driver is obliged to wear PPE during the whole loading or unloading of the vehicle. Vehicle must be weighted at the entrance gate into USSK! Furnishing of the vehicle on loading site, tarpaulins removal, manipulation with sideboards and cargo securing is performed by the driver. Driver checks stowage of load on a loading platform during the whole loading. 1.2 VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS HEADBOARD The vehicle must be fitted with a headboard between the cabin and the loading platform to protect the vehicle personnel in case of load shifts forwards. Headboard has to be functional without cracks in bearing weld seams. Vehicle without lashing points with damaged headboard! 2

4 We recommend vehicle superstructures certified according to the standard EN Code XL for our goods! Vehicle body marking according to EN LOADING PLATFORM The surface of the loading platform should be even and closed (no missing or broken boards). The cargo should not become wet from below. In case of semi-trailer with a coil-well this must be without any missing or broken coil-well covers. The loading platform should be dry and clean before loading LASHING POINTS Loading platform must have anti-skid floor (not metal floor)! Lashing points should be an integral part of the vehicle construction. Usual semi-trailer must be equipped by minimum 12 pairs of lashing points (24 lashing points) with minimum safe working load of We recommend vehicles with lashing rails for our goods or at least 17 pairs of lashing points. 3

5 1.2.4 SEMI-TRAILERS FITTED WITH A COIL-WELL - Minimum angle of slopes shall be Minimum span between supporting surfaces shall be 0,6 D. - Vehicle must be equipped with stanchions plugged into the cases in a coil-well. Coil must be placed against the stanchions. If coil might be damaged by stanchions use protective material. - In case of metal surface of the coil-well the use of anti-slip mats between the coil and the coil-well is obligatory. - Coil might not be laying on the bottom of the coil-well (minimum clearance 20 mm), always must be laying on coil-well slopes. D coil diameter Depth of the coilmin. 0,6 D 35 Minimum clearance 20mm Width of the coil-well 4

7 1.3 LASHING STRAPS Vehicle must be equipped with sufficient number of lashing straps! - Minimum 16 pcs for tractor + semi-trailer and vehicle + trailer combinations with a lashing capacity LC = min Particular types of loading may require more straps. - Minimum 8 pcs for vehicle with a payload over 3,5 tonnes to 12 tonnes with a lashing capacity LC = min. 2000, Particular types of loading may require more straps. - Minimum 4 pcs for a vehicle with a payload not more than 3,5 tonnes with a lashing capacity LC = min. 2000, Particular types of loading may require more straps. - Sufficient number of straps protective equipment (corner protectors, sleeves etc.) against sharp edges. - Lashing straps must be certified according to the standard EN Lashing capacity LC = min. 2000! (2500 recommended) and standard tension force STF = min length of lashing straps must be sufficient for applied lashing method - lashing straps must be visually inspected before each use - lashing straps end fittings must be suitable for lashing points on a vehicle We recommend long handle ratchets STF = 500 for our goods! CONDITIONS OF USAGE - Use only damage-free lashing straps with readable identification tag indicating lashing capacity (LC) and standard tension force (STF). - Identification tags should be protected from sharp edges or even the load itself if possible. - Lashing straps mustn t be knotted. - Lashing straps mustn t lead over sharp edges or rough surfaces without equivalent protection. - Lashing straps must never be used for lifting loads or for any other purpose for which they are not intended. - Lashing hooks must not be loaded at their tips unless the hooks are specially designed for this purpose. - To avoid stress on tensioning devices and fasteners, do not lay them across edges, otherwise they may fracture. - Lashing straps must not be used again after the fracture, deformation of connective elements or tensioning elements. - Driver is obligated to check the tension in lashings short after the start and, if he is aware of loosening, also during the carriage in necessary periods. - Change of temperature during the carriage can affect the tension forces in lashing straps therefore check the tension after entry to warm area. - Driver is responsible for functional lashing straps. 6

8 1.4 ANTI-SLIP MATS - material rubber granulate - minimum friction factor 0,5 - minimum thickness 10 mm 1.5 BASIC RULES FOR CARGO SECURING IN USSK 1. Never carry the unsecured load even for short distances! 24 tones of coil strips carried according driver for short distance unsecured! Semi-trailer was not equipped with lashing points!!! 2. Cargo must be always secured forwards! Bales of sheets of 12 tones unsecured forwards! 7

9 3. Never place steel products on metal floor this is also valid for coil-well! By contact surface steel metal platform always use anti-slip mats. By contact surface steel (wedge bed, steel pallet) wood/plywood floor always use anti-slip mats. 4. Use lashing straps of minimum lashing capacity LC = 2000, standard tension force STF = 500 (long ratchets) and sufficient number! 5. For cargo securing use lashing points designed for this purpose. If the load displacement doesn t allow doing that, lash the lashings to the vehicle or superstructure chassis! But watch out of sharp edges! Control officers in Germany do not allow lashing to vehicle/superstructure chassis. They can define the vehicle as inappropriate for carriage. They can order to load the cargo on another vehicle. We recommend vehicles with lashing rails or at least 17 pairs of lashing points for our goods. 8

10 6. It is necessary for vehicles carrying steel products to be equipped with lashing points of sufficient strength and number! Usual semi-trailer must be equipped with 12 pairs of lashing points with minimum safe working load of By vehicles without any lashing points it is not possible to secure the load safely and efficient! We recommend vehicles with lashing rails or at least 17 pairs of lashing points for our goods. 7. Be aware of sharp edges, loose steel products have sharp edges and can cut the lashing straps, use protective material (corner protectors, sleeves...)! 9

11 8. Never load the lashing point in the same direction! In one lashing point can be maximum 3 lashing straps but each in different direction of loading that is e.g. during braking is force transferred to lashing point by only one lashing straps. We recommend vehicles with lashing rails for our goods. 9. Anti-slip mats (ASM) decrease the number of additional securing equipment! Always use ASM correctly. When using ASM cargo must be placed in a way that there are no contact points with loading platform and the whole cargo mass is transferred to loading platform through ASM. 10

13 3 SHEETS IN BUNDLES 3.1 LOADING AND SECURING Placing of bundles in longitudinal direction without gaps, blocking to the headboard, if necessary (e.g. load distribution) use of e.g. pallets to fill the distance between headboard and the first bundle or spring lashing. It is reasonable (e.g. distance between lashing points or load displacement) to place the bundles in units and secure the whole unit forwards, rearwards and sideways. In case of gaps between units each unit must be secured individually forwards (practise: German authorities ordered to fill each gap!). If the bundles are loaded in layers and some layer is not secured forwards it must be secured by spring lashing. Never carry the cargo unsecured forwards! When loading bundles on semi-trailer with a coil well always consider possible blocking by the headboard and stanchions forwards and if it is not possible use lashing against forward movement! The same is valid if empty pallets are available on loading platform or in pallet basket to fill up gaps in forward direction. SHEETS BUNDLES UNSECURED FORWARDS PENETRATED HEADBOARD DURING HEAVY BREAKING! Top-over lashing never secures the load forwards by reasonable number of lashings! 12

28 5 COILS AND COIL-STRIPS ON WOODEN BATTENS WINDING AXIS VERTICAL (EYE-TO-THE-SKY) 5.1 LOADING Loading in one row without gaps between units or create groups from more units. Smaller coils than half of the platform width can be stowed next to each other. 5.2 CARGO SECURING All coils/coil-strips are placed on wooden battens winding axis vertical. Always if possible use spring lashing through the coil eye or round spring lashing against forward movement. When lashing is done through the coil eye be aware of limited movement of the cargo which can pinch lashing strap on wooden battens and would not be possible to remove straps. When using round spring lashings (SL2) be aware of falling of straps down. Lighter coils can be grouped together without gaps secured sideways/rearwards by top-over lashing but forwards always by spring lashings if coil group is not blocked by headboard, stanchions, pallets. If load is not placed against headboard use always blocking or spring lashing. For securing sideways a top-over lashing and spring lashing through the coil eye or loop lashing for heavier coils can be used. Group of coils can be secured together by lashing. For securing rearwards spring/top-over lashing can be used. Unstable coils on wooden battens must be secured against tilting by spring/top-over lashing or blocking. Securing of coil-strips sideways by top-over lashing, loop lashing or two coils spring lashed together through their coil eyes 27

35 6 COILS AND COIL-STRIPS ON WOODEN SLEDGES WITH WINDING AXIS PARALEL TO LONGITUDINAL VEHICLE AXIS UP TO 10 TONNES 6.1 LOADING Loading must be with rolling direction perpendicular to driving direction. If it is possible create groups. If it is not possible secure each unit separately. Coils on short sledges can be unstable and edge cut creates even higher instability. Never load with rolling direction in driving direction! 6.2 CARGO SECURING Securing of coils on wooden sledges depends on stowage of coils on loading platform. Spring lashing through the coil eye is suitable for securing of coils. Stanchions can be used to block the coils forwards if the load distribution is correct in case of semitrailers fitted with coil-well. NOT PROPERLY SECURED COILS (8363 KG FRONT ONE AND 5328 KG REAR ONE) BY ONLY TOP-OVER LASHINGS, NOT PROPERLY SECURED FORWARDS BUT LOADED ON SEMI-TRAILER FITTED WITH COIL-WELL WHERE STANCHIONS COULD BE USED FOR BLOCKING THE CARGO FORWARDS. 34

40 7 COILS LOADED IN A COIL-WELL WITH WINDING AXIS PARALEL TO LONGITUDINAL VEHICLE AXIS UP TO 20 TONNES 7.1 LOADING AND CARGO SECURING Coils are loaded by a crane into a coil-well. Coil-well is fitted with stanchion pockets for stanchions to block coils in forward direction wherever possible. Coil-well covers can be used to block other coils. In case that covers are of sufficient strength no lashing is necessary forwards. We do not recommend using more than one cover between two coils because they can tilt up during coil movement and blocking is inefficient. Always block coils with stanchions where possible! Unstable coils always block forwards with stanchions and secure against tilting rearwards! Load coils in one row and fill up the gaps with covers. Coils must be placed on rubber anti-slip mats! If the vehicle is fitted with stronger lashing points as 2000, we recommend using them. Not proper use of coil-well covers between neighbouring coils covers can tilt up during coil movement (left) and stable coil blocked by stanchions forwards and lashed by spring lashing through coil eye rearwards where straps are connected to stronger lashing points (right) 39

42 7.2 SECURING EXAMPLES OF COILS IN A COIL-WELL 41

43 1. Stable coil of diameter smaller than transverse distance of stanchions loaded in a coil-well. Because of load distribution coil is moved rearwards and gap is filled by coil-well cover of sufficient strength to block the coil forwards. Coil is placed on rubber anti-slip mats and secured rearwards by spring lashing through the coil eye SL1 (light blue straps) or top-over lashings could be used for certain weights and contact surfaces. 2. Unstable coil in a coil-well placed on rubber anti-slip mats blocked against forward movement by stanchions. Spring lashings through coil eye SL1 (dark blue straps) are used against sliding rearwards and top-over lashings (yellow straps) are used against tilting rearwards. 3. Stable coil in a coil-well placed on rubber anti-slip mats blocked against forward movement by stanchions. Spring lashings through the coil eye SL1 (red straps) are used against rearwards sliding or top-over lashings could be used for certain weights and contact surfaces. 4. Stable coil of diameter smaller than transverse distance of stanchions is placed on anti-slip mats in a coil-well. Coil is blocked forwards by horizontal stanchions of sufficient strength secured against release and rearwards by spring lashings through the coil eye SL1 (light blue straps or top-over lashings could be used for certain weights and contact surfaces. 5. Stable coil not blocked by stanchions forwards secured forwards/rearwards by 4 spring lashings through the coil eye SL1 (red and dark blue straps) where each strap line is connected to separate lashing point on a vehicle platform. In case of heavier coils more lashings are necessary forwards and rearwards or stanchions blocking must be used. 6. Two coils placed on rubber anti-slip mats are blocked forwards by stanchions and coil-well cover of sufficient strength and between each other with a cover of sufficient strength. The whole group is secured rearwards by spring lashings through the last coil eye SL1 or top-over lashings could be used for certain weights and contact surfaces on both coils. 7. In case of doubts about cover strength it is possible to place more cover on each other and secured them by top-over lashing against sideways sliding. This is also suitable for blocking of unstable coils where covers are placed on each other between two coils. 42

46 8 SPIRAL-WELDED STEEL PIPES 8.1 LOADING Pipes are loaded on wooden battens. At the beginning and at the end of the loading platform two battens are placed with pipes overhang about mm. Besides it is necessary to place another 2 battens between them of equal distance. Battens are fitted with nailed wedges. Battens between layers have wedges nailed from both sides. If there are no gaps between the pipes in one layer the outer pipes are secured by wedges only. If there are gaps between the pipes in one layer each pipe must be secured by wedges from both sides. Place the first layer of pipes on wooden battens. After the loading of the first layer place the battens with nailed wedges from both sides in such a way that they secure the pipes in upper and lower layer. Place next layer of pipes on this battens. This procedure repeats in regard to number of pipes to be loaded. By loading secure the pipes against rolling by wedges. Pipes must be loaded firstly against the headboard but if load distribution doesn t allow this it is necessary to use protective wooden grid! 8.2 CARGO SECURING It is difficult to achieve proper and efficient securing of pipes. It is important that well secured wedges prevent pipes from rolling also during unloading when lashings holding the pipes during carriage are loosened. It is important to use sufficiently strong wooden battens to prevent breaking and loosening of the stability of the whole stack of pipes.

It is necessary to consider additional pressure from lashings on outer pipes. By 9 lashings and force 500 additional pressure on outer pipes is 4,5 tonnes. If drivers use extension bars for ratchets then force

49 8.3 SELECTED LOADING COMBINATIONS OF PIPES IN USSK (MASS IS VALID FOR 12 METERS PIPES) 48

50 Eccentrically loading (stowage 14, 15) Eccentrically loading of pipes is always secured by loop lashings sideways. Minimum 3 pairs of loop lashings shall be used for the whole cargo and 3 loops for top pipe against movement to one side. Loading of pipes of diameter 864/914 mm (stowage 11) Cargo securing sideways shall be done by 3 pairs of loop lashings for bottom layer and 3 pairs of loop lashings for top layer of pipes. Pipes loaded in pipes bed (stowage 9, 10, 12, 13) Pipes loaded in pipes bed shall be secured by 4 round turn lashings with bottom layer close to wooden battens to release the pressure on outer wedges which is increasing with the application of top-over lashings. For loading combination 13 the gap between two pipes must be filled. In case that pipes are loaded in pipes bed then contact surface is steel-steel therefore use of rubber anti-slip mats is necessary on such surface. Pipes loaded broader and top pipe loaded in pipes bed (stowage 16, 17) Pipes loaded in upper layer are loaded on 6 wooden battens and pipes in bottom layer on 4 wooden battens. Top 3 pipes must be lashed by 2 round turn lashings with min. 8 mm chains (LC=4000) (stowage 16) or 4 lashing straps and wooden support of top middle layer by 2 vertical wooden blocks 100x100 mm nailed to outer horizontal wooden battens. These two wooden blocks must be of accurate length to exactly fill the gap between the platform and top middle pipe. Without such securing top middle pipe can fall down and push out the vehicle sides

51 SECURING EXAMPLES OF SELECTED LOADING COMBINATIONS OF PIPES 1. Pipes blocked by headboard of sufficient strength (EN XL) forwards and secured sideways by top-over lashings (yellow straps). 2. Pipes of different length not blocked forwards secured by round spring lashings with pallets where wooden blocks can be inserted under straps. No. of spring lashings is according individual mass of the layers. Cargo is secured sideways by top-over lashings. 50

52 3. Cargo securing of pipes loaded into each other by 4 spring lashings SL2 (8 lines) with wooden grid. Two spring lashings of bottom/top layer have the same length. Cargo is secured sideways by top-over lashings. Pipes inside each other are always placed on rubber anti-slip mats and wedged against transverse rolling. 4. Securing of eccentrically loading of pipes by spring lashings SL2 (8-10 lines) in combination with wooden grid forwards. Securing sideways is done by 3 pairs of loop lashings LL1/LL2 for the whole cargo and by 3 loops of top pipes against movement to one side. Rubber anti-slip mats are used between steel/steel surface. 51
