Aerial Port Container Handling Equipment Requirements and Air Transportability for Intermodal Containers.

Abstract

The report details aerial port container handling equipment types and quantities recommended for the 1975 to 1980 time period. Included is a five-year phased fund program for the limited quantity of equipment needed for handling projected 1980 container volumes and for a base for future expansion of container handling systems. The report provides a review of tests conducted on land-sea containers by the Air Force to determine air transportability and provides loading and tie-down patterns for various pallet/platform configurations and containers for the C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft.
