About this file

This document is a Salient Characteristics specification for the 26K HelMAS/DAMAS Modular Aircraft Shoring Ramp system. The specification details precise technical requirements for a military aircraft loading system compatible with helicopters like CH-47s, LUH-72s, and MH-6s, and fixed-wing aircraft including C-130, C17, and C5. Key specifications include a 26,000 lbs maximum single axle rating for primary ramp components, a pooched plate surface with specific friction coefficients, and strict requirements for component construction, including certification by ATTLA and compliance with international agricultural standards.

The document outlines three specific kit configurations: a 3-Leg 26K HeIMAS w/CRA Shoring Kit, a 3-Leg 26K HeIMAS UNDER kit, and a 26K DAMAS Miscellaneous Stands Set. Each kit includes detailed quantities of specialized ramp sections, ramp pads, adjustable stands, and a side-loading container. The system is designed with a 2:1 safety factor, requiring all components to be fabricated by AWS-certified welders and meeting stringent load-bearing and surface interaction specifications for military aircraft loading operations.

4. Each left/right ramp component assemblies shall be rated at 26,000 lbs. maximum single axle, 36" wide, no thicker than 4”, two carry handles on each side.

5. The optional center ramp assemblies, when required for a Tail Landing Gear (TLG) or Nose

Landing Gear (NLG) shall be rated at 13,000 lbs. maximum single axle (6,500 lbs. per single tire), 24” wide, no thicker than 4”, two carry handles on each side. *

6. HelMAS assembly will have pooched plate surface, providing the minimum friction coefficient of: Dry: 80 and Wet: 63 Per Pendulum Test Value (PTV) with Four S (96) hard rubber slider

7. HelMAS assembly will have a minimum total length of 244 inches.

8. All components that come in contact with the aircraft cargo floor or cargo door have smooth belting bonded securely to the base (e.g. Ramp Pads, and Stands).

9. All components must be certified by ATTLA # 2012.02.06.02 Rev 1.

10. All components must NOT subject to DoD Manual 4140.65-M, and are to be compliant with the International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) program, and the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC).

11. Rated capacity shall be no more than 50% of breaking strength (2 to 1 safety factor)

12. Each HelMAS, and sub-component, will be fabricated by a welder certified by the American

Welding Society (AWS).
