can be accomplished in one man hour or less by two people using only hand tools and a lifting device
and operator. Any components (except for exhaust stack) removed for transport must have tiedowns
and slinging provisions conforming to MIL-STD-209. The compactor shall have 25 percent of its fuel
supply and shall be fully serviced when transported.
3.17.1 Tiedown provisions. The tiedown provisions shall conform to MIL-STD-209, class 2
or 3, type III equipment. MIL-HDBK-1791 may be used for guidance on equipment restraint criteria.
The tiedown provisions shall satisfactorily complete the pull testing as specified in 4.5.2.8, without
weld failure, permanent deformation, cracking, loosening, or breaking of the provision or its
connecting structural components. Tiedown points shall be labelled, in minimum 1-inch high letters,
"TIEDOWN HERE" and combination lift/tiedown points "LIFT/TIEDOWN HERE".
3.17.2 Slinging provisions. The slinging provisions shall conform to MIL-STD-209, class 1
or 3, type III. The provisions shall enable the complete compactor to be lifted in the normal operating
position without the use of a spreader bar. The provisions shall be located so that not less than 1-inch
clearance is maintained between slings and all exterior parts and shall be fastened to members which
will withstand stresses in the amount and direction of pull specified for the provisions without weld
failure, permanent deformation, cracking, loosening, or breaking of the provision or its connecting
structural components. Slinging provisions may also be used as tiedown provisions when such
provisions meet the requirements specified in 3.17.1. Lift points shall be labelled in minimum 1-inch
high letters, "LIFT HERE".
3.17.3 Air transportability. The compactor shall be capable of being driven onto a C-5
aircraft without modification. See MIL-HDBK-1791 for guidance (see 6.7).
3.17.4 Rail transportability. The Compactor shall be rail transportable in the Continental
United States (CONUS) and North Atlantic Organization (NATO) countries. The SSL must be
capable of withstanding shock loads resulting from the rail impact testing specified in 4.5.2.10
without failure, damage, or permanent deformation. When loaded on a 50 inch high rail car, the
Compactor shall meet the DOD clearance profile for the Strategic Rail Corridor Network
(STRACNET). Transport without disassembly is desired.
3.17.5 Highway transportability. The compactor, when loaded on a semitrailer/tractor, shall
be within the highway permit limits of all states.
3.17.6 Marine transportability. The compactor shall be transportable by LARC-V and larger
vessels operating over any type of waterway. The compactor shall withstand, without damage, the
shock, rolling, and pitching normally experienced in marine transportation on the deck or in the hold
of the cargo vessel.
3.18 Towing attachments. Towing attachment(s) shall be provided. The attachment(s) shall
be hook(s) or loop(s) suitable for towing (or recovering) the compactor.
3.19 Lubrication. All surfaces requiring lubrication shall be provided with a means for
