You are more than welcome👍👍👍
It’s good to watch these videos after passing my Cat D on 26th October this year 😅, can watch it nerve free 😂😄👍
Great work well done.👍👍
HI :) I want to add we use chains and steel ropes when the load is heavier than 10 tons . Thanks Paul
Great tip, Good point. Thank you.
Perfectly explained
Glad it was helpful! 😃
Wow that’s so beautiful
thank you so much 👍👍
Great video !
👍👍Thanks for the visit.
Well done again Paul. Another great video coming from NDC 🤛🏽👌🏾👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you so much Troy.
Superb video again, and so clear Paul - thank you! Would love to attend one of your courses. I drive for the Fire Service (part-time) and got my Class 2 in 2013. I have just taken my 5 x periodic CPC modules to get my DQC and find some Class 2 commercial work. I would like to look into doing HIAB, ADR and once I have driven Class 2 commercially for a little while, take my Class 1. I hear that the government are bringing in Skills Bootcamps, including Class 1 that are free from approved providers from Nov / Dec 2021 to address the shortages - I don't' suppose you will be offering these would you? Thanks again. Jim
Thank you so much Jim. That sounds like a plan. Unfortunately not but if you want to give us a call we will see what's around.👍👍👍👍
Very helpful info thanks.
You are more than welcome 👍👍👍
really helpful, got my module 4 in 4 days then lessons the day after
Best of luck hope all goes well thank you so much for your comments.👍👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre passed 100%. Just thought I would mention that they no longer include the questions regarding load distribution and how to secure your load.
@@sandZROFL do you don’t have to demonstrate?
@@NationalDrivingCentre is it true you don’t have to demonstrate it now
@@amandafereday7928 i didnt demostrate, examiner said they dont ask it anymore but it's good to learn it anyway
Great video. Thankyou
Thank you so much.👍👍
Just seen a video which shows you attach the chain hooks to the securing points on the trailer then take up the slack with the tensioner rather than tensioning the two ends together.
Yes, Obviously if you was securing a vehicle then you would need to use change on the shackle pins in a criss-cross formation at the front and rear of the vehicle. And then using the ratchet to close attention as shown. 👍👍
Precisely, that is what he did wrong. He is showing an unrealistic securing of a load. You would hardly ever loop a chain and secure it from the bottom, that is just nuts!!! Hence, for me, that is a FAIL.
Hello, thanks for making a informative and no nonsense video. I do have one question related to the use of the chain in the video, you state using a ratchet strap you can identify its load capacity and test date by label, does a similar system exist for the use of chains to secure loads? Thanks in advance.
Yes, correct it should do. However if not or in any doubt, check with your line manager / depot.
Actually, it was nonsense. Unsecured load.
great video, thank you
You're more than welcome thank you so much.👍👍
Thanks guys another informative video. The Cpc module 4 how many questions or parts to it are their? Excuse my ignorance.
Thank you so much, Mark not at all. Normally out of the five categories two possibly three questions in each category. 👍👍
Big thanks. CPC mod 4 on Monday, and in my 45 years, i have never touched a ratchet strap. I didnt wanna turn up having zero idea how they worked.
No problem at all. Thank you so much. Best of luck. 🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👍
Jusg wondering did you get asked to use any of these?
@@martin..3700 no, not all the question papers have the straps and chains in them. It all depends on which question set you get. 👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre do we only get asked one question with either the chains,strap or bar or do we have to demonstrate how we would use all the securing equipment
@@bobjohn5543 no, you'll only be asked one of these items. 👍👍
Thanks for this video. When you say to inspect the chains and straps, should you physically check all of it in front of the instructor during CPC Module 4 or simply say that you should check it? Many thanks
Always be prepared to physically check, but some / most examiners will accept you understanding you would have to and won't require it.
Thankfully
Amir another video for you 🙌🏼
Thanks very much for your information, I am doing my module 4 text on 16 December 2020
🙏
Thank you so much.
Thanks boys, I passed exam :)
Thank you so much. No problem at all. 👍👍
Hi I find your videos very helpful, I'm doind my cpc module 4 in couple of weeks, at the moment we don't need to know the dolly knot?.. Can we just choose de straps instead?
Thank you so much for your comments and questions. The reason we don't need to know Dolly knot anymore is companies are not allowed to use rope to secure a load, the reason being is the rope is not load tested, it has not been inspected and has no date of birth. For this reason a ratchet strap or chains it's going to be the best method to secure a load. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre Thank you for the clarification, thank you for the videos you posting they are very helpful and was a great tool to pass my class 2, keep up the good work👍
@@joao_spinola No problem. Good luck stay safe. 👍👍
👏
👍👍
Good one thanks
You are more than welcome.
Question, can I apply one end of the chain ratchet to the chain and the other end directly to the lashing point?
In a way, yes because you have a shortening link within the chain, it would be challenging and the chain would be a little bit too long. The hooks themselves are more designed to carry out a choke hold around a component. Consult your company is safe systems of work with regards to securing there are loads. 👍👍👍
I failed my class 2 test yesterday because I was at a tight roundabout and in the middle was an Over grown bush. I was going over the Roundabout when a silver car came flying round it. Personally think it’s very unfair to fail me. It’s cost me £475 for a re test 😢
So sorry to hear about that. Best of luck for the next one.👍👍
I want to do my CPC MOD 4 ASAP... ill go anywhere right now...
Give us a call and when things open up we will do our very best for you 🙏🏼
I made my C category in 2023 with RSM in Chelmsford. During the training, there was not a single word about these things. They didn't have this rack or any of these tools. I just got 4 pages with questions then I checked videos like this to find the answers for myself. Is this normal???
No, this is not normal. The teaching and instructing needs to be at a professional level. And the standard across the UK needs to be the same so yes, they pretty much dropped the ball here.
Sorry to hear about that, and I'm so glad the videos helped best of luck for the future. 👍👍🤞🤞
Can I drive to my cpc mod 4 I have passed relevant tests but it will be during work time ?
No. There is an exemption for a student under driving lessons, because you are not in a training vehicle or undertaking driving instruction there is no exemption for yourself.
Good Morning Team,
Today's lesson is impressive n important from safety purpose.
🙏👍👌⭐💯🇮🇳
Thank you so much. No problem 👍👍👍👍👍
how do you secure sheets on tipper trucks? do you use ratchet straps too or ropes?
So sorry when you say sheets, what do you mean? This would most likely be ratchet strap as part of all companies safe systems of work there should be no rope used anymore because no six monthly checks are carried out (due to a lack of identification number), we don't know the age of the rope or what condition it's potentially in. 👍 therefore, rope is not a safe, securing method.
@@NationalDrivingCentre I think tipper drivers use sheets or something to cover their loads, sand, gravel etc. But how do they secure whatever they use to cover the loads?
Gotcha, yes tipper drivers and aggregate drivers normally have an automated sheet that goes over the back of the lorry but it's not normally secured left to right.👍👍@@randompotatoguy9347
Morning guys, will it be expected that you know how to tie the dolly knot for a MOD4 demonstration? Cheers
The current legislation, no company should be using rope to secure any type of load and therefore the knowledge to know how to do a dolly not would not be required. So the method shown in this video are all the ones you will need to know. 👍👍
@@NationalDrivingCentre brilliant thanks for your help! I'm loving your videos BTW! they're so easy to follow and really well delivered! Cheers
@@GaryTillman Thank you👍👍
Why do some people loop it twice meaning when putting the strap in the groove they feed it through again is it necessary? Thanks
A great question. This could be just a personal habit; this becomes a pain when trying to remove the straps quickly. It will not increase strength or durability.
Because that's how the ratchet and strap is designed to be used, so that you can take up most of the slack in the strap before ratcheting. This guy is doing it the lazy way, not the right way.
@@lulupinkus5627 Bullseye, this was the second thing I noticed, well spotted. This is the old school way of doing it, cowboy style.
Hi friends please any one here who knows a good one cause I'm just starting my lorry license and I need help please many thanks
No problem, thank you for your comment. If you would like to check out our web site www.nationaldrivingcentre.co.uk hopefully all the information you need is there if not please give us a call.
you guys are born for tv
Thank you so much👍👍
For making a show, that is for sure.
Where you based mate?
We are based in Croydon south London.👍
Interesting I’ve just passed my rigid and I was shown the dolly knot. I said not many people use rope anymore,
The training provider explained its best to know a dolly knot because it’s a “dying art” and you’d have better chance of employment over other candidates.
I’ve never seen a load secured with rope so I just didn’t want to learn it. Especially on a flat bed it’s mainly ratchet straps.
Very true Adam if VOSA/DVSA or Traffic police see you securing a load with rope you will be in trouble and potentially fined. Thank God it's a dying art because it should not be used anymore, the only people who need to know how to do a story not should be people with boats. Thank you so much for your comment Adam.👍👍👍
That chain tying doesn't look right . . .
Possibly not, but that's because were using a test rig and not an actual load. Obviously if the load was present on the vehicle, we could then demonstrate the correct technique, but that is not part of the test. This is just to demonstrate the actual product. For example, the ratchet mechanism or the chain ratchet mechanism. But thank you so much for your comment. 👍
