General. All items placed inside the shelter must be secured to prevent damage from
shock or vibration during transport. The packaging, bracing, cushioning and tie-down method
employed must be done so it will not allow damage to wall covering and equipment. Make sure
the correct sling assembly is available and in good condition, the skids are in good condition and
securely mounted to the shelter, and the drain plug is loosened for air or rail transport.

Loading Shelter on a Truck or Rail Car. The shelter with its payload is capable of
being transported by commercial cargo vehicle or any standard 40-foot flatcar as used in the
continental United States. During vehicular transport, the shelter should be secured as shown in
Figure 3-32. During rail transport, the shelter shall be blocked and braced to avoid shifting on
flatcar (Figure 3-33). The loaded shelter is capable of withstanding humping speeds of nine
miles per hour with no permanent deformation.
3-31.
Storing Shelter. Accumulation of moisture within the shelter resulting from
temperature and humidity fluctuations can damage equipment. Minimize moisture accumulation
by keeping shelter doors, louver covers, and drain holes open during indoor storage. During
outdoor storage, keep doors and drain holes closed, but keep louver covers open.
