| Resumen del asunto | Nos gustaría utilizar cierres giratorios en nuestros remolques de plataforma para transportar contenedores. No hemos recibido información suficiente sobre si, una vez instalados los cierres giratorios, seguiremos necesitando cadenas para asegurar correctamente los contenedores. Queremos asegurarnos de que se cumplen todas las normativas del Departamento de Transporte (DOT). Estos contenedores se asegurarían de la misma manera que los remolques intermodales. |
| Justificación o necesidad | Necesitamos saber si es necesario usar cadenas al utilizar los cierres de seguridad giratorios. Nuestros camiones recorrerán Estados Unidos para un importante programa deportivo. Esta solicitud es importante porque queremos cumplir con todas las leyes federales del Departamento de Transporte (DOT). |
| Solicitud de acción | Buscamos una aclaración sobre si, al usar cierres giratorios en nuestros remolques de plataforma para asegurar los contenedores, seguiremos necesitando encadenarlos. Estos cierres giratorios son similares a los que se usan en los remolques intermodales, que no requieren cadenas para su sujeción. |
| Medidas adoptadas por el comité | The concern was that the PODS appear to be containers and if they are hauled on a flatbed trailer, would they be able to use the integral locking devices. The forum tasked CVSA staff to draft language for the existing Inspection Bulletin 2017-02 - Securement of an Intermodal Container on Container Chassis Vehicle to include information for PODS. The draft was presented in the Portland meeting, but attendees there wanted more in the draft to indicate how many corner locks must be used to meet the minimum requirement. CVSA staff was further tasked with researching with PODS to find out what the minimum number would be. Staff reported that they had contacted the PODs manufacturer and was provided information that intermodal corner locks will not work on PODs due to the container being narrower and shorter. In the case of the PODs containers they use other means of securement such as synthetic webbing on a flat deck and they should not be treated as intermodal containers. It was further mentioned that there were pictures of them being transported and they are always tied down with synthetic straps. It was recommended that this issue be closed and, in the case, that someone sees these items being secured by another means, the issue can be re-opened at that time. |
