ATTACHMENT 2 cont. MIL-C-104C.pdf

This document is a military specification (MIL-C-104C) detailing technical requirements for wooden crates used in military logistics, specifically for lumber and plywood-sheathed crates that are nailed or bolted. The specification comprehensively covers design standards for two primary crate types and multiple classes, including requirements for materials, construction methods, dimensions, weight limitations, and structural components such as skids, frames, sheathing, and fastening mechanisms.

The specification provides detailed technical guidance for manufacturing military shipping crates, including precise specifications for lumber and plywood types, nail and bolt configurations, ventilation requirements, and structural integrity standards. The document outlines different crate configurations based on size, load capacity (ranging from 2,000 to 40,000 pounds), and intended use, with specific provisions for different panel types, base styles, and construction methods to ensure durability during domestic and overseas shipping and storage operations.
