CHAPTER 1

DESCRIPTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF EQUIPMENT.

The mission of the HALVORSEN loader (Figure 1-1) is de-fined as effective, efficient, and safe transfer and transport of cargo weighing up to 25,000 lb (11364 kg) from other mate-rial handling equipment (MHE), or a loading dock onto air-craft and vice versa. Cargo includes pallets, platforms, con-tainers and rolling stock, and can be front end, back end, and side loaded and off loaded. The HALVORSEN loader is de-signed for transport on rail car, ship, or 96 inch (244 cm) wide commercial semi-trailer and can be sling loaded. For air trans-port on C-130, C-17 and C-5 aircraft, the loader features drive on/drive off capability. The loader can perform its mission in ambient temperatures ranging from ‐40 °F to +125 °F (‐40 °C to +52 °C). Loader operations are restricted to winds under 40 knots.

1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

The loader is a self-propelled, hydraulically‐operated, elec-trically‐controlled cargo loading vehicle. A six-cylinder tur-bocharged diesel engine, coupled to a four-speed automatic transmission, provides the power to propel the vehicle and op-erate the hydraulic and electrical systems. A battery-powered electric motor drives an auxiliary hydraulic pump that is in-corporated in the hydraulic system for emergency operation in the event of a failure of the main power unit.

a. The loader has a turning radius of 100 feet (30 m) and can make a three‐point turn on a 50‐foot (15-me-ter) wide taxiway. The automatic transmission pro-vides precise control and inching capability for ap-proaching aircraft and loading docks. The loader, at maximum gross weight, is capable of maintaining a maximum forward driving speed of 17 mph (27 kph) and reverse driving speed of 5 mph (8 kph) while op-erating on level, dry, paved surfaces. The loader is also capable of negotiating rain, snow, sleet, sand, standing water and mud at reduced speeds while op-erating on improved surfaces, as well as operating at reduced speeds on level, semi‐prepared surfaces, in-cluding gravel, perforated steel planking (PSP) and rapid runway repair (RRR) slab.

b. The loader has an enclosed cab (Figure 1-1, 1) mounted on the deck (2) that contains the driving and operating controls, and provides comfort and safety for operating in all types of weather conditions. The cab (1) is equipped with an air conditioning system which gives the operator comfort during hot weather.

The air conditioning system can be used in conjunc-tion with the heater (controlled separately) to de‐fog windows and dehumidify and cool the cab (1) as required.

c. The deck powered convey system moves palletized and platform cargo along the deck (2), and the pow-ered rollers can be lowered for moving cargo by hand, or for loading and off‐loading cargo from forklifts on either the right side or at the rear of the loader. Rolling stock can be driven on and off the deck (2) from ei-ther the front or the rear.

d. The deck (2), at its lowest position of 39 inches (99.1 cm), can interface with aircraft, loading docks and other MHE, and when raised fully to 220 inches (558.8 cm), will interface with the main decks of commercial cargo aircraft. To facilitate loading, the deck (2) can be side shifted 3 inches (7.6 cm) left or right of the centerline, and has roll capability of 4 degrees, left or right side, for alignment if aircraft doors that are not level with the loader deck (2). For alignment to the aircraft roll plane when operating on irregular surfaces, the deck (2) can also be pitched 6 degrees up or down from horizontal.

e. The main components of the loader consist of the cab (1), deck (2), pitch cylinders (3), scissors (4), chassis (5), main lift cylinders (6), and ladder (7).

1.4.11 Winterization.

• To avoid electrical shock, the circuit breaker (Figure 1-16, 1) must be in the OFF position whenever AC power cable is installed or removed from receptacle (2) on winterization box.

• To avoid electrical shock, the AC power cable must be removed from receptacle (2) before starting engine.

• Engine can be started when AC power ca-ble is not energized or circuit breaker (1) is in the OFF position. Exercise caution when using the winterization cable. Sudden movement of the loader could cause injury to personnel under or near the loader.

For operating in cold weather conditions, an external alter-nating current power source of either 120 VAC or 240 VAC can be connected to the winterization receptacle (2) located on the left side of the loader. The system automatically senses the voltage applied and adjusts the output voltage for the heating elements installed for operating in cold weather. Heating ele-ments installed are for warming the engine oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, and batteries.

1.4.11.1 For safety, when the external power source is con-

nected, the indicator light marked WINTERIZATION CON- NECTED illuminates on the dash panel and the loader en-gine cannot be operated. The main components of, or near, the winterization receptacle (2) consist of the circuit breaker (1), weather cap (3), and emergency pump (4).

NOTE

External power cord must be energized to illu-minate the indicator light on the driver's dash panel.

1.4.11.2 The cargo loaders are low use vehicles. This can

cause contamination to form in the fuel tanks of cargo loaders located in areas where they are exposed to cold weather. Vehi-cleMaintenance personnel will inspect fuel tanks tomake sure that fuel is clear, bright, and free of water/sediment. In cold weather areas, during the cold weather months, fuel tanks will be filled to ¼ capacity with fresh, biodiesel free product. If the cargo loaders are not used for a significant period of time, check fuel tanks prior to use and drain if fuel’s appearance is not clear and bright. VehicleMaintenance personnel will drain and dispose of any contaminated fuel. For locations where the cargo loaders are not used regularly; leave fuel tanks empty, check the tanks periodically to ensure all water from conden-sation is removed and, when needed, only fill the fuel tanks with the minimum quantity of fuel required for use.
