RIGGING STEPS
1. Position the apex fitting on top of the stacked platforms. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the
front of the platform and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear (A-frame end). Sling legs 1 and 3
must be on the left side of the load.
2. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision located on the top
platform. Place the correct link from Table 14-7 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2
through the right front lift provision on the top platform.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision located on the top
platform. Place the correct link from Table 14-7 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4
through the right rear lift provision on the top platform.
4. Secure all excess chain with tape or Type III nylon cord.
5. Pad each chain where it contacts sharp edges on the platform. Secure the padding with tape
or Type III nylon cord.
6. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the platforms to
prevent entanglement during hookup and lift-off.

„ Webbing, cotton, 1/4-inch, 80-pound breaking strength.
z
Personnel. Two persons can prepare and rig this load in 10 minutes.
z
Procedures. The following procedures apply to this load:
„ Preparation. Prepare the load using the following steps:
─ Secure the utility box lid with Type III nylon cord.
─ Lower the lunette close to the ground and secure it in place with a 5,000-pound tiedown
strap and load binder.
─ Secure safety chains, intervehicular electrical cables, and brake cables on top of the
drawbar with tape or Type III nylon cord.
─ Engage the parking brake and secure it in the engaged position.
─ Tape the rails on the trailer together to ensure the slings do not become entangled.
─ Tape all lights.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 14-8.
Note. This load is flown with the lunette in front.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands next to the trailer. The static discharge person
discharges the static electricity. The hookup person places the apex on the cargo hook. The
hookup teams then carefully dismount the boat and remain close to the load as the helicopter
removes slack from the sling legs. When successful hookup is assured, the hookup teams
quickly exit the area underneath the helicopter to the designated rendezvous point.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.

2 to the front of the truck and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear end. Sling legs 1 and 3
must be on the left side of the load.
2. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the left front lift provision located on the left side of
the front bumper. Place the correct link from Table 15-1 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling
leg 2 and the right front lift provision.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left hole in the floor of the cargo bed, under the
lifting pin on the spring shackle between the wheels, and back up through the hole. Place the
correct link from Table 15-1 in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 4 and the right rear lift
provision.
4. Cluster and tie or tape (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the truck to

─ If the trailer has modified lift provisions, remove the push pin and rotate the provisions
downward.
„ Rigging. Rig the load according to the steps in Figure 16-1.
„ Hookup. The hookup team stands in the cargo bed of the trailer. 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.
„ Derigging. Derigging is the reverse of the preparation and rigging procedures.
RIGGING STEPS
1. Position apex fitting in the trailer bed. Route outer sling legs 1 and 2 to the front of the trailer
and inner sling legs 3 and 4 to the rear end. Route the rear chains between the tailgate and
the bed. Sling legs 1 and 3 must be on the left side of the load.
2. Loop the chain end of sling leg 1 through the lunette. Place the correct link from Table 16-1
in the grab hook. Repeat with sling leg 2 on the lunette.
3. Loop the chain end of sling leg 3 through the left rear lift provision located at the aft end of
the trailer chassis frame. Place the correct link from Table 16-1 in the grab hook. Repeat
with sling leg 4 and the right rear lift provision. Secure the excess chain with Type III nylon
cord.
4. Remove the slack from sling legs 3 and 4. Tape or tie the grab hook or sling leg to the side
rack.
5. Cluster and tie (breakaway technique) all sling legs together on top of the trailer to prevent
entanglement during hookup and lift-off.
