Shipping Recommendations
Due to the physical size and weight of the Drinking Water Discharge Winch System, shipping recommendations
will be limited to barge/ship and/or trucks. If, per chance, the system is to be air shipped, the major requirement would
be to remove all hydraulic fluid from the system.
8.6.1.
Winch
The basic envelope dimensions of the winch are:
Length:
13'8" inches
Width :
12'0" inches
Height:
14'8" inches
Weight:
26,000 lbs, w/o hose and connectors
The foot-print of the winch is 144 inches X 144 inches and the bearing surface is 4,352 square inches. Whenever the
winch is being transported, the following procedure should be followed:
a)
Investigate bearing load area relative to shipping mode. Area load could be decreased by using doubler
(spreader) plates.
b)
Handle winch as per suggestions presented in Section 8.1: Handling Techniques and Limitation.
c)
Secure load to transport surface. Preferred method is to weld the bolt-down brackets to the transport
surface. Alternate method would be to secure the base from side motion and secure tie-down lines from
the four lifting points.
