Shoring Kit Salient Characteristics.pdf

Salient Characteristics

1) The system shall be capable of loading any helicopter that requires approach shoring, including those with Tail Landing Gear (TLG) or Nose Landing Gear (NLG), to include AH-64s, H-60s, LUH-72s, and MH-6s.

2) The system shall be compatible with C-130, C17 & C5 aircraft.

3) When under a full load, no pressures on aircraft cargo floor or cargo ramp will exceed 50 psi.

4) Each left/right ramp component assemblies shall be rated at 20,000 lbs. maximum single axle, 30" 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) The 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) The 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 # 2012.02.06.01 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 ramp system, and sub-component, will be fabricated by a welder certified by the American Welding Society (AWS).
