File contents

Pipe Load Securement

Pipes have specific securement rules under § 393.122. The cylindrical shape requires special attention to prevent rolling.

Pipe configuration

Single-layer pipes — sit directly on trailer deck
Multi-layer pipes — stacked with dunnage between layers
End-to-end — long pipes laid lengthwise
Side-by-side — pipes laid across the trailer (less common)

Securement requirements

Each pipe (or group) tied down with chains
Tiedowns rated to prevent forward, lateral, vertical movement
Roll-prevention dunnage on the sides
Multi-layer dunnage between pipes

Roll prevention

Side stakes or rolls (specialty trailers)
Wedges or chocks at pipe sides
Webbing or chain crossing the top
Multi-point anchoring

Tiedown count

1 tiedown for short pipe (under 5 ft)
2 tiedowns for 5-10 ft
Additional for longer pipes

Driver inspection

Pre-trip: verify pipe spacing + tiedowns
Mid-trip: stop + verify no roll
Post-trip: confirm delivery

Common violations

Pipe rolls during transit (lateral shift)
Tiedowns too short
Dunnage inadequate
Side blocks missing
Cross-tying inadequate for length

Specialty trailers

Pipe haulers with integrated roll prevention
Multi-axle for heavy pipe loads
Tilt deck for easier loading
Adjustable side stakes

Compass cargo securement

Pipe load compliance scoring
Roll prevention checklist
WLL calculator for pipe + chain configurations

CFR citations

49 CFR § 393.122
