STEP DECK TIE-DOWN — THE COUNT FOR A DROPPED DECK LOAD
Step Deck Tie-Down Calculator — DOT-Compliant Strap Numbers
Step decks carry loads that span two levels. The securement rules account for that — make sure your setup does too.
Enter your cargo weight, longest item length, and strap WLL. The calculator applies FMCSA 393.106 to return the correct strap count for a step deck load.
Step deck loads are disproportionately cited in DOT inspections for incorrect strap placement and insufficient WLL relative to actual cargo weight.
Step deck CDL operators, fleet supervisors, and commercial loading dock staff.
- FMCSA 49 CFR §393.106 step deck cargo rules
