A pair of spanners must be rated for 40,000 pounds maximum single axle load (each individual spanner rated at 20,000 pounds maximum single/dually wheel), with a minimum 2-to-1 safety factor and no permanent deformation of aluminum under 80,000 pound axle weight.
Technical requirements include an improved kicker plate utilizing aluminum tubes and 3-inch tapered gussets rather than angled aluminum; a 2-inch-high stub toe; and a specifications plate etched with manufacturer's part number, vendor contact information, rated capacity, and a safety statement requiring support at least 12 inches at each end. Rail spanners must be fabricated by an American Welding Society-certified welder and designed for 2-person lift and placement.
