| Resumen del asunto | Esto se refiere al uso de tensores y cadenas para asegurar la carga. 1. ¿Puede el tensor fijarse directamente a un punto de anclaje en lugar de que ambos extremos se fijen solo a la cadena (ver imagen 1)? 2. Si se utiliza una cadena y dos tensores, ¿se considera un solo sistema de sujeción o dos sistemas separados (ver imagen 2)? |
| Justificación o necesidad | Debido a la escasa información sobre tensores en la FMCSR, necesitamos aclaraciones sobre los dos puntos anteriores. Somos una empresa de cubierta abierta y utilizamos cadenas y tensores con regularidad. Queremos cumplir con la normativa en todo momento. Según nuestro conocimiento, la intención de los fabricantes al utilizar estos tensores es ÚNICAMENTE tensar la cadena/recoger la holgura de la misma, no utilizarlos como un sistema de sujeción directo a un punto de anclaje. |
| Solicitud de acción | Nos gustaría que se revisaran nuestras inquietudes con respecto a las carpetas y su uso, y que se nos diera una respuesta. |
| Medidas adoptadas por el comité | Clarification was needed on two points. Can the binder be connected directly to an anchor point and is there anything in the regulations that prohibits this method of attachment? They can be connected to chains, a vehicle, or the load. The second question was with one chain and two binders, is this one securement system or two? The loose chain in the middle is not relevant. This is not the first time this question has been asked and it is unknown why the enforcement community often considers this not be two tiedowns or a loose tiedown. There are pictures in the Part B lesson plan and it is up to the instructor to focus on this issue, but it is unknown as to whether it is focused on during training. It was suggested that it could be covered in a webinar to see if the situation can be rectified but it does not hit all inspectors. Other things were discussed such as Inspection Bitz, etc. After a lengthy discussion it was determined that an addition to Operational Policy 15 would be the best, it is permanent and a good reference point. The forum agreed on language to reflect the following: b.(9) Can a single chain can be used to form two tiedowns with two binders and can the binder be directly attached to the transport unit or the load? ANSWER: Yes, a single chain can be used to create two tiedowns (the excess chain in between the two tiedowns may be loose) and the binder may be attached to the transport unit or the load. There was also a picture included in the Policy. |
