Stress Analysis of the Forces Exerted on a Standard 8'x8'x20' ANSI/ISO Container When the Container is Transferred from the Ground to the Bed of a PLS Truck via a Hooklift Interface Kit (HIK).

摘要

The Human Engineering Laboratory (HEL), in concert with the Project Manager, Ammunition Logistics (PM A MMOLOG), is in the process of evaluating the Palletized Loading System (PLS) in the role of an ammunition carrier. As part of this evaluation, a development Hooklift interface Kit (HIK) will be used to upload a standard 8' x 8' x 20' IOS (International Organization for Standardization) container loaded with ammunition onto a PLS vehicle without the use of the current PLS flatrack. This report presents an engineering stress analysis of the forces exerted on the container as the container is transferred from the ground to the bed of the PLS vehicle.
