1.4.3 Means of restraint

The primary means of restraint is achieved by the use of strapping, wrapping or mechanical restraints.

The secondary means of restraint is achieved by the use of gates, fixed side panels, stillages or cages constructed to provide

adequate strength to contain a load of tilled cylinders.

NOTE: This is important where the gate is at the rear and vertical forces whcn driving over a bump may dislodge the gate.

To satisfy the above requirements, the gates shall—

(a) he tied down;

(b) have a locking device fitted that positively affixes the gates to the tray; or

(C) be hinged and permanently fixed to the tray.

1.5 FORCES ACTING ON LP GAS CYLINDER LOADS

1.5.1 General

The loads and modes of failure include the following:

(a) Cylinders sliding sideways when the vehicle is subjected to a lateral acceleration of 0.5g.

(b) Cylinders tipping over sideways when the vehicle is subjected to a lateral acceleration of 0.5g.

(c) Cylinders thrown upwards when the truck drives over a speed bump or similar giving a vertical acceleration of 0.2g.

(d) Cylinders bending or shearing the headboard when the vehicle is subject to a braking deceleration ci 0.8g.
