The tie-down fittings on the CARGO RAMP are rated for how many pounds?

• A. 4,000 Lbs
• B. 5,000 Lbs
• C. 6,000 Lbs
• D. 7,000 Lbs

Answer: (B)

Understanding the load rating of cargo ramp tie-down fittings is essential for safely securing cargo during transport. These fittings are designed to withstand up to five thousand pounds of force per anchor when they’re properly installed and used within the specified conditions. This is the working load limit, the maximum load you should apply to a single tie-down point in normal service; it’s not the ultimate breaking strength, which would be higher but not relied upon in routine operations. If you’re securing heavier cargo, you spread the load across multiple tie-downs so that no single anchor exceeds the 5,000-pound limit. Always inspect hardware for wear, corrosion, or damage and follow the manufacturer’s mounting and usage guidelines, since real-world conditions can reduce capacity.
