According to TMC requirements, what is necessary for each coil being loaded?

The requirement for having a strap over the top of each coil being loaded is based on the need to ensure that the load is secured adequately during transportation. Strapping helps to prevent the coil from shifting, rolling, or tipping over, which could lead to damage to the cargo or pose safety risks on the road. This method of securement is a recognized practice in loading heavy cylindrical items, where the stability of the load is critical for safe transport.

Using a strap over the top creates a downward force that keeps the coil firmly pressed against the trailer and minimizes movement. This is particularly important for heavy loads like coils, which can be hazardous if they shift during transit. Proper use of these straps, alongside other securement methods as required, helps to ensure compliance with safety standards set by regulatory bodies such as TMC.

While other methods like nets or tarps may be useful in specific contexts, they do not address the primary concern of preventing vertical or lateral movement of the coil itself during transportation, making the strap over the top a necessary requirement.
