GENERAL MAINTENANCE (Contd)
LOADING AND MOVEMENT OF EQUIPMENT (Contd)
a. When unloading a REB for shipment or storage, ensure cargo bed, pallet,
or ground surface is flat, level, and capable of supporting weight of bridge.
Refer to Equipment Data, WP 0003 00, for weights and dimensions of REB.
b. Dunnage should be placed under the REB during unloading to facilitate
tiedown and prevent movement during shipment. Dunnage also prevents
damage to bottom of pallet when loading/unloading from ground to transporter.
c. The pallet can be transported on the ground for loading/unloading onto
aircraft. Refer to WP 0022 00.
PREPARATION FOR SHIPMENT AND LIMITED STORAGE
1. Cleaning. Protection for REB and accompanying equipment must be
sufficient to protect the material against deterioration and physical damage.
