What is the use of Two Inch Tape?

• A. Used to tie down loads as main securing strap
• B. Used to secure excess on loads
• C. Used to color code equipment
• D. Used to wrap edges for protection

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is handling leftover material after you’ve secured a load. Two inch tape is used to secure any excess length of strap or rope so tails don’t loosen, flap, or snag during transport. Wrapping and taping the tail keeps the securing system neat and stable, makes inspections easier, and prevents small shifts that could compromise the load. It’s not meant to serve as the main securing strap, nor is it for color coding or edge protection—its job is specifically to manage the excess on secured loads.
