Internal Airlift

WARNING

Place a tie-down ratchet strap (lightly tensioned) around the

container to while in flight. The container door may open during

rapid decompression. Failure to comply may result in serious

injury or death to personnel.

CAUTION

As an added precaution, add one ratcheting cargo strap (lightly tensioned)

around the perimeter of the container, just above the center door latch as an

added safety against the door fully opening during a rapid decompression

event. Failure to comply may result in damage to the equipment.

The ADR-300 is approved for internally restrained cargo on USAF C-130, C-141, C-5, and C-17 with the

following provisions:

1. The maximum gross weight of the loaded container shall not exceed 10,000 lb. Maximum load per

shelf is 300 lb. Contents shall be tied down.

2. The container, when presented for airlift, shall be capable of being restrained to withstand minimum

loads of 3g forward, 2g up, and 1.5g aft and laterally. The shipper shall also ensure that contents can

withstand these forces in addition to a potential 4.5g down load.

3. The end with the refrigeration unit is inset to provide the C-130 an access aisle in the wheel well area

of the aircraft.

4. These containers will be loaded to allow, as needed, in-flight inspection and access to the contents.

5. The container will self-ventilate in the event of an in-flight rapid decompression of up to 8.3 psi within

second, thus contents should be packaged with this in mind.
