## Preparing Platform

7-2. Prepare a 16-foot, type V platform using two tandem links, four suspension links and 24 clevis assemblies as described below and as shown in Figure 7-2.

- **Inspecting Platform**.  Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform according to TM 10-1670-268-
20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.
- **Installing Tandem Links**.  Install tandem links as shown in Figure 7-2. - **Installing Suspension Links**.  Install suspension links as shown in Figure 7-2. - **Attaching and Numbering Clevises**.  Attach and number 24 clevis assemblies as shown in Figure 7-2.


Notes. 1.  The nose bumper may or may not be installed.
2.  Measurements given in this chapter are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from the front edge of the nose bumper.


## Step:

1. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
2. Install two suspension links on each platform side rail using holes 6, 7, and 8, and 25, 26,
and 27.
3. Install a clevis on bushings 1, 2, and 3 on each front tandem link.
4. Install a clevis on each rear suspension link on bushings 2, 3, and 4. 5. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install clevises to bushings bolted on holes
12, 13, 15, 22, 31, and 32.
6. Starting at the front of the platform side rail, number the clevises bolted on the right side
from 1 through 12 and those bolted on the left side from 1A to 12A.

## Preparing And Positioning Honeycomb Stacks

7-3. Use the materials in Table 7-1 to prepare seven honeycomb stacks as shown in Figures 7-3 through
7-12.  Position the stacks on the platform as shown in Figures 7-13 and 7-14.

## Description Of Load

8-1. The M-271, 4,000-pound capacity forklift truck with foam filled tires (Figure 8-1) has an unrigged weight of 13,730 pounds.  The forklift is rigged with four G-11 cargo parachutes on a 16-foot, type V platform with a total rigged weight of 17,380 pounds, height of 98 12 inches, width of 108 inches, and a length of 226 inches.

## Preparing Platform

8-2. Prepare a 16-foot, type V platform using two tandem links, four suspension links and 24 clevis assemblies as described below and as shown in Figure 8-2.


Inspecting Platform.  Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform according to TM 10-1670-
268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.

Installing Tandem Links.  Install tandem links as shown in Figure 8-2.

Installing Suspension Links.  Install suspension links as shown in Figure 8-2.

Attaching and Numbering Clevises .  Attach and number 24 clevis assemblies as shown in
Figure 8-2.


Note. The nose bumper may or may not be installed.


## Step:

1. Install a tandem link on the front of each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3.
2. Install a suspension link on each platform side rail using holes 6, 7, and 8, and 25, 26, and
27.
3. Install a clevis on bushings 1, 2, and 3 on each front tandem link.
4. Install a clevis on each rear suspension link on bushings 2, 3, and 4. 5. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install clevises to bushings bolted on holes
12, 13, 15, 22, 31, and 32.
6. Starting at the front of the platform side rail, number the clevises bolted on the right side
from 1 through 12 and those bolted on the left side from 1A to 12A.

## Chapter 9 Rigging The 6,000-Pound Capacity Forklift Truck On A Type V Platform Description Of Load

9-1. The 6,000-pound capacity forklift truck is rigged on a 24-foot, type V platform with six G-11 cargo parachutes for low-velocity airdrop from a C-130 or C-17 aircraft.  The forklift weighs 23,000 pounds.  It is 102 inches wide, 228 inches long and 124 inches high (reducible to 89 inches).

## Preparing Platform

9-2. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, a 24-foot, type V platform as outlined in TM 10-1670-268-20&P.
The platform will use two tandem links, four suspension links, and 32 clevis assemblies as shown in Figure 9-1.


Inspecting Platform.  Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform according to TM 10-1670-
268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.

Installing Tandem Links.  Install tandem links as shown in Figure 9-1.

Installing Suspension Links.  Install suspension links as shown in Figure 9-1.

Attaching and Numbering Clevises .  Attach and number 32 clevis assemblies as shown in
Figure 9-1.

Notes.
1.  The nose bumper may or may not be installed. 2.  Measurements given in this chapter are from the front edge of the platform, NOT from
     the front edge of the nose bumper.


## Step:

1. Install a suspension link to each platform side rail using holes 9, 10, and 11. 2. Install a suspension link to each platform side rail using holes 38, 39, and 40. 3. Install a tandem link on each platform side rail using holes 1, 2, and 3. 4. Install clevises on bushings 1 and 2 of each front tandem link. 5. Install a clevis on bushing 3 of each front suspension link. 6. Install clevises on bushings 1, 2, and 4 of each rear suspension link.
7. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install clevises to bushings bolted on holes 7,
15, 20, 24, 32, 42, 43, 44, 45, and 48.
8. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, number the clevises bolted on the right side
from 1 through 16 and those bolted on the left side from 1A through 16A.

# Chapter 12 Rigging M973A, 1 12-Ton Cargo Carrier Small Unit Support Vehicle (Susv) On A Type V Platform For Low-Velocity Airdrop

## Description Of Load

12-1.   The small unit support vehicle (SUSV), Figure 12-1, is a tracked vehicle with a driver's compartment and a cargo-troop carrier compartment attached to the rear.  The vehicle is 271 inches long, 74 inches wide, 90 12 inches high, and weighs 10,000 pounds.  The SUSV is rigged on a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform using four G-11 cargo parachutes for low-velocity airdrop from C-130 and C-17 aircraft. The vehicle must be rigged with an accompanying load that weighs 2,000 pounds but not more than 2,100 pounds.  The accompanying load is 105-millimeter ammunition rigged on the front end of the platform; however other equipment may be used.

Only ammunition listed in FM 4-20.153/MCRP 4-11.3B/TO 13C7-18-41 may be air dropped.

## Preparing Platform

12-2. Prepare a 28-foot, type V airdrop platform according to TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22.

Install two tandem links, eight suspension brackets and 50 tiedown clevis assemblies as shown in Figure
12-2.

## Steps:

1. Inspect, or assemble and inspect, the platform according to TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO
13C7-52-22.
