Correct answer: Held upright, or lying flat and braced.
Answer options
- AGrouped loosely and tied together with steel bands
- BLimited to less than half of the total cargo
- CHeld upright, or lying flat and braced Correct
Why
Without racks, cylinders have to be held upright or laid flat and braced so they cannot roll, slide or tip over and rupture when the vehicle stops or turns. The cargo floor must also be flat.
