The Vertical Tandem Lifts (VTLs) Standard requires employers to develop, implement, and maintain a written plan for transporting vertically connected containers in the longshoring and marine terminal industries. The written plan is necessary for the safe transport of VTLs in the marine terminal where factors affect the stability of a VTL which has a higher center of gravity than a single container.
