🔍 Key Concepts

• Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vehicle securing methods and why different lashings are chosen • How chain lashings behave when passed over edges, corners, or sharp bends • The relationship between link shape, load direction, and strength of a chain

💭 Think About

• Think about what physically happens to individual chain links when they are bent tightly over a sharp corner under heavy load. • Compare chains with other lashing types (like web straps or wire) in terms of how they handle sharp edges and corners. • Which option describes a limitation that is specific to how chains are constructed and how their links work together under tension?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which option is tied directly to the geometry of the chain links and how load is distributed. • Verify which disadvantage would become apparent only when the lashing passes over edges or corners on the vehicle or deck fittings. • Eliminate options that sound like general disadvantages but are not unique to chains or not linked to how they are used on heavy vehicles.
