- Description
- MULTI AIRCRAFT CANOPY CRANE This performance description states performance requirements for a multi-airframe crane that is used to install/replace multiple components on various fighter aircraft. REQUIREMENTS: Physical Characteristics: Weight: The weight of the crane, including all components, systems, and assemblies, shall not exceed 2000 pounds. Dimensions: Operating: The size of the crane shall not exceed 22' long X 22' wide X 21'6" high in the operating mode. These dimensions are necessary for operation and maintenance in a hardened aircraft shelter/TAB VEE (First generation), second generation, and third generation aircraft shelters as well as outside in ambient conditions. Shipping: The crane shall not exceed 9' long X 7' wide X 8' high in the shipping mode. Shipping mode is when the crane is being transported from one base to another by a flat bed trailer or by air. Service Life: The crane shall be designed to have a minimum service life of twenty (20) years in operational service. FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTIC: Aircraft Interface: The crane shall be capable of removing and installing all specified equipment on all models for the following airframes: A-10, HH-60, F-15, F-16, F-22, F117, and T-38. The crane shall be capable of being used with Type B-1, Type B-4, and Type C-1 maintenance stands without requiring the moving of stands away from the aircraft during usage. The crane shall have boom rotation that allows removal and installation of items on the aircraft without unlocking the base assembly casters and repositioning the crane at the aircraft. Rotation: The crane shall be designed to have 360 degree rotation of the boom about its vertical axis under operating load. The crane shall be able to remove/install and unload/load items without repositioning the crane. Adjustable boom height: The crane shall be designed to operate with the boom in two positions. The maximum height shall be 21'6", and the lower boom height shall be 15'. Outriggers: The crane shall be designed to have extendable outriggers for crane stability and safe operation. At least one outrigger leg shall not be higher than 8 inches high when it is extended; therefore allowing the crane to be operated under airframes with low clearance. Wheels: Wheels shall be of the type that will absorb vibration while crane is transported (pneumatic tires or spring loaded casters). Wheels will need to be able to transport crane when it is in its transport and operational mode. All wheels shall have accessible wheel brakes operated by hand/foot. Leveling Adjustments: The crane shall be designed to have the capability for stabilizing and leveling the crane during usage to accommodate various deformations and uneven surfaces. A 10 inch travel shall be located on each outrigger. Leveling adjustments shall be able to support weight of crane when it is fully loaded. Winch: The crane shall be equipped with two-speed mechanical winch/hoist mechanism, one speed for rapid hook position and a second speed for precise hoisting of the load. The winch shall include a brake that engages automatically upon releases of the winch handle and is capable of stopping and holding a maximum load without slippage. Within a distance of one half (1/2) inch while lifting or lowering a load. Design and proof load: The crane shall be designed to have a rated lifting capacity of 1,500 pounds. The load used to initiate and test the design of the crane shall be based on the rated lifting capacity multiplied by a factor of 1.25 or 1.875 pounds. Towbar: The crane shall be equipped with a towbar having a lunette eye with a 3-inch diameter opening. The towbar shall be designed to resist permanent deformation under all operational conditions. Temperature range: Crane and all of its items shall be able to operate and withstand ambient air temperatures Specified in table I. TABLE I. Temperatures Ranges EXPOSURE CATEGORY REQUIREMENT High Low Operational Mode 125 'F -40 'F Storage Mode 165 'F -65 'F
