SIXTH EDITION <strong>SDDCTEA</strong> PAMPHLET 55-19 Section VIII. Loading Ramp The military often uses an end ramp for circus-loading flatcars. Below (Fig 15) is a steel ramp that can be locally fabricated to provide some flexibility in the choice of loading sites. A Pro-E drawing can be found on our web site: www.tea.army.mil specifically at [https:// www.tea.army.mil/res/3d/3dmodels.asp?type=1]. Figure 15. Steel end ramp for wheeled and heavy tracked vehicles. 37
SIXTH EDITION <strong>SDDCTEA</strong> PAMPHLET 55-19 Section IX. Flatcar Types A relatively few types of chain-equipped flatcars serve the bulk of the military's needs. Flatcar lengths fall into two main categories: 60 to 68 feet and 89 feet. The shorter cars are typically about 10 to 10-1/2 feet wide and the 89-foot cars are 9 to 9-1/2 feet wide. Most of the commercial flatcars are nominally 70-ton capacity cars, while the DOD-owned cars (DODX) are 100-ton cars for the DODX 41000- and 42000-series (Figs 16 and 17) and 140-ton cars for the DODX 40000-series (Fig 18). The weight each flatcar can actually carry, and which you must not exceed, is stenciled on the side as the load limit (LD LMT). Additional information is published in MIL-STD-1366 available at: http://www.tea.army.mil/pubs/nr/deploy/transinstruction/MILSTD1366E.pdf starting on page 17. Figure 16. DODX 41000-series 68-foot flatcar. 38
