ISU96-Interval-Slingable-unit with Reefer Unit.

I contacted the Manufacturer in order to get technical documentation and parts lists etc.

The Technical Manual (TM) for the ISU 96 RC is an export controlled item; it cannot be released without prior US Government approval. The TM for the ISU 90 is similarly controlled.

Can you (as owner representative) provide the TMs for the containers?
