4.1. BALL TRANSFER UNITS

4.1.1. Remove existing roller system and frames from the eastern section on the flight line side of warehouse floor.

4.1.2. Install new ball transfer units on the east end of the current roller system.

The ball transfer units will be utilized to move airdrop platforms, 463L pallets and other cargo equipment between the two different roller systems currently installed

4.1.2.1. East end of current rollerized system must fit the dimensions of two sections measured at 9.8 ft/118 inches wide by 13 ft/151 inches long that will have the capability to move independently vertically with in-ground scales built-in underneath. Between both of these independent units will be a third unit inserted measured at 3.3 ft/40 inches wide by 13ft/151 inches long to allow the transfer of airdrop platforms, 463L pallets and other cargo between rollerized lanes and scales. Ball transfer units must be 4.25 inches off the ground to meet the height of the current rollerized system installed.

4.1.2.2. Each unit will have forklift tine troughs built into the units to support military 10K Standard and 10K All-Terrain forklift tine measurements.

4.1.2.3. Each ball transfer unit shall have a removable bottom for cleaning of the small ball bearings by maintenance personnel. The removable bottom shall be securely retained in place but shall be removable. Each type of ball transfer unit used shall be approved by the GR prior to ordering. The ball transfer unit manufacturer shall have been manufacturing ball transfer units for a minimum of 5 continuous years.

4.1.2.4. Each ball transfer unit shall have a minimum load capacity of 500 pounds.

4.1.2.5. Ball transfer units shall consist of a machined metal housing containing a minimum 30-millimeter diameter main load ball with a stainless steel Grade 200 or better. The main ball and all smaller balls shall be manufactured of the same material and shall have the same hardness. Components of the ball transfer units shall not corrode, rust, or deteriorate due to condensation.

4.1.2.6. Each ball transfer unit shall have debris holes on the bottom with a minimum area of 15 square millimeters.

4.1.2.7. Each ball transfer unit shall be marked with the manufacturer’s name and model number in a location that is visible from above when installed in the ball transfer tread plate.

4.1.2.8. Ball transfer units shall be installed on maximum 6-inch centers. Ball transfers and the spacing used shall not damage airdrop platforms, 463L pallets, or other cargo stored or transferred on the surface. Ball transfer unit surface shall be level with the currently installed rollerized system for ease of transfer of items between the two systems.

4.1.2.9. The Contractor shall certify the load capacity of the ball transfer units, that the housing is machined, and the material and hardness of the mail ball and smaller balls.

4.1.2.10. The ball transfer frame shall be constructed of structural steel and shall support all loads without permanent deformation. The frame may be combined with the tread plate the tread plate into a single unit if the design is approved by the GR prior to manufacturing. A metal tread plate shall be provided around all ball transfers. All tread plates shall for a single, integral walking area that provides a safe walking surface for personnel who manually transfer platforms, pallets and cargo. Tread plates shall be a minimum of 0.12-inch thick steel. Tread plates shall provide a non-slick surface with high traction even when wet. Holes for the ball transfers shall not create a gap larger than 0.03 inch between the ball transfer and the tread plate. Tread plates shall be designed, installed, and seized to be easily removable by one person. Tread plates shall not be welded in place. If separate from the frame, tread plates shall be fastened in place with recessed-head bolts that are not a tripping or snagging hazard. Tread plates may be retained in place without fasteners if the design is approved by the GR. Platforms and pallets being transferred on the ball transfer unit shall not make any contact with the tread plates.

4.1.3. Removable pallet stops shall be configured to fit plates that measure 0.5 inches thick by 9.5 inches wide.

4.1.4. Ball transfer guide rails shall be installed in conjunction with the current rollerized guide rails and shall function as a continuous fixed stop. They shall span the entire length of the roller ball sections and meet performance requirements for pallet stops.

4.1.5. Forklift tine deflectors shall be installed at each outer most end of the roller ball units to deflect tines from an approaching forklift upwards so the impact is not felt by or transferred to the frame. The deflector and the surface it is mounted to shall not exhibit damage, deformation, or decreased performance from forklift tine impacts. The forklift tine deflector shall be a minimum of 0.37-inch thick steel installed at an angle to deflect approaching tines upwards.

The forklift tine deflectors shall be installed within the forklift tine troughs built into the frame of the ball transfer unit.

4.1.6. All ball transfer units shall be designed to withstand, operate, and be safe to use in rain, heat, direct sunlight, wind, moisture, fog, humidity, snow, sleet, ice, and all other environmental conditions at Yokota AB.
