Vehicle Loading

The ADR-300 may be transported on a variety of flatbed vehicles. Insure that the selected vehicle load

capacity exceeds the total gross weight of the loaded container (10,000 lb). Lift the ADR-300 onto the

vehicle with either a forklift or overhead crane. Secure the container to the vehicle bed with chains or

cargo straps as described below. An instruction plate for restraining the container on the vehicle is

attached to the container exterior.

Truck Transport

The ADR-300 may be transported on a 5-ton or larger truck. A plywood spacer (minimum 5/8 - 1-inch

thickness), or similar material, shall be used under the ADR-300 container to protect the under side of the

container base during tactical truck movement.

Note that manufacturing tolerances may cause the container base to be slightly wider than the 5-ton truck

bed with the side rails in place. In these instances, one of the cargo restraint rails may be removed from

the container base to provide side-to-side clearance.

Secure the top of the container as illustrated below. Use chains, cable or nylon straps (minimum 2 in

wide) to restrain the container on the truck bed.
