Certified Single-Point Rigging Procedures for Radar and
Satellite Equipment
INTRODUCTION
12-1. This chapter contains rigging procedures for single-point lift of radar and satellite equipment that
have been certified for sling load. Each rigging procedure is found in a paragraph that includes a
description of the load, materials required for rigging, and steps to complete the procedure. An
applicability paragraph is also a part of each paragraph and identifies the certified loads. The certified
single-point rigging procedures for containers are in this section. Paragraphs 12-2 through 12-13 give
detailed instructions for rigging loads.
Note. Reach pendants may be used on all single point loads. A static discharge person is not
required when using a reach pendant.
AN/TPQ-37 ARTILLERY-LOADING RADAR SET (FIREFINDER)

Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Antenna unit should be configured for march order. If the antenna unit is mounted on its
transport trailer, it must be removed for sling loading. If the trailer is to accompany
the unit, it must be rigged and moved as a separate load.
─ Ensure the maintenance tent frame and cover are stowed and secured in their proper
position.
─ Ensure all cover panels, cabinet doors, and vents are installed and secured.

Chapter 12
─ Secure all loose items with Type III nylon cord.
─ Ensure the rear door is closed and secured with the locking handle. Door rods must be
secured in their clips.
─ Ensure the antenna transport cover is secured tightly to the lacing brackets with bungee
cord. If necessary, secure the antenna with additional nylon cord.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 12-1.
CAUTION
Do not stand on top of the load. Use the ladder to connect the sling
legs to the load.
„ Hookup. The hookup team remains close to the load as the helicopter removes slack from
the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup team quickly exits the area
underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
Note. Hookup is accomplished by the flight engineer using a cargo-hook loading pole
(Shepard's Hook). Ensure the helicopter crew is informed of this in advance.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
Note. Advise the pilot to hover to one side before releasing the apex fitting from the cargo
hook.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Open the access holes in the antenna transport cover as necessary to reach the lifting rings.
2. Rotate the antenna tie-down bolt ratchet handles toward the center of the trailer to prevent
sling interference.
3. Position apex fitting on top of the load. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the unit
and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear (door end). Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left
side of the load.

4. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift ring. Place the correct link from
Table 12-1 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 on the right front lift provision. Secure
the excess chain with Type III nylon cord.
5. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift ring. Ensure the chain is routed
through the slot on the top of the corner post. Place the correct link from Table 12-1 in the
grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 on the right rear lift ring. Pad the chain legs where they
contact the top of the corner post. Secure the padding with tape or Type III nylon cord.
6. Close and securely fasten the opening in the rear of the antenna transport cover.
7. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the unit to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

RIGGING STEPS
1.
Connect a 9-foot multiloop line to the left rear clevis. Place the multiloop line in the sling
guide of the antenna, pull up until tight, and tape the line to the sling guide. Repeat the
procedure on the right side.
2.
Wrap the left side of the A-frame, aft of the lunette, with padding and secure it in place with
tape. Choker-hitch a 9-foot multiloop line around the padded area. Repeat the procedure on
the right side.
3.
Position apex fitting on top of the trailer (not on top of the radar panel). Route outer sling legs
1 and 2 to the front of the trailer and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear. Sling legs 1 and 3
must be on the left side of the load.
4.
Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the multiloop line attached to the left side of the
tongue. Place the correct link from Table 12-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 on
the right front lift provision. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
5.
Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the multiloop line attached to the left rear lift
provision. Place the correct link from Table 12-3 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 on
the right rear lift provision. Secure the excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
6.
Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the unit to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 30 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
Note. Do not stand on the surface of the antenna array at any time.
─ Assemble the two spreader bar assemblies by matching similar sections to form a long
(117-inch) and a short (91.8-inch) spreader bar.
─ Prepare the Firefinder II for transport in accordance with operator’s manual.
─ Secure all loose equipment on the pallet with tape or nylon cord.
─ Ensure all latches, doors, and panels are secured with tape or nylon cord.
─ Using the two tie-down straps, secure the antenna cover to the antenna array. Route the
tie-down straps from front to rear.
─ Place the long (117-inch) spreader bar on top of the shelter roof. Position the bar
(parallel with the side of the shelter) between the edge of the shelter that is adjacent to
the antenna array and the radio mount on the shelter roof. Secure the spreader bar
loosely in place (allow adequate slack for movement) with nylon cord to prevent the
spreader bar from rolling off the shelter roof.
─ Place the short (91.8-inch) spreader bar through the opening in the antenna array support
arms directly below the antenna array as indicated in the illustration. Secure the
spreader bar loosely in place with nylon cord to prevent the spreader bar from sliding
out of the openings in the support arms.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 12-4.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands on top of the shelter. The static wand person discharges
the static electricity with the static wand. The hookup person places the apex fitting onto the
aircraft cargo hook. The hookup team then moves clear of the load but remains close to the load
as the helicopter removes slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the
hookup team quickly exits the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous
point.
