1. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the left side of the vehicle,
across the eye of the coil, to the right side of the vehicle;
2. At least one indirect tiedown attached diagonally from the right side of the vehicle,
across the eye of the coil, to the left side of the vehicle;
3. At least one indirect tiedown attached side-to-side over the eye of the coil;
4. Either blocking and bracing, friction mats or direct tiedowns must be used to prevent
forward - rearward movement.
What structure or device is used to prevent longitudinal movement of the coil in the
forward direction? - Answers-At least one direct tiedown is required through its eye,
restricting forward motion.
Which means of securement is prohibited when transporting coils with the coil eye
crosswise on the vehicle? - Answers-Attaching direct tiedown diagonally through the
eye of a coil to form an X-pattern is prohibited.
