MIL-STD-209 Lifting And Tiedown ProvisionsThis standard establishes dimensional limits, design considerations, positioning requirements, and strength requirements for lifting to include helicopter sling load HSL and tiedown provisions for lifting or tying down tanks and other tracked vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, helicopters, and other military equipment shipped assembled or disassembled in unboxed or uncrated condition, and for restraining cargo or accessories to such equipment. The lifting and tiedown requirements in this standard are necessary to permit compatibility between military equipment and the transportation systems used for deployments.

3.  DEFINITIONS

3.1  Cargo tiedown provision.

A padeye, fixture, or attachment integral to the cargo areas of trucks and trailers, flatbed trailers, or flatracks (used as a demountable truck or trailer bed)  for securing cargo or accessories (see Figure 1).

3.2  Container spreader bar.

Material handling equipment specifically designed for lifting standard American National Standards Institute/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/ISO) containers.

3.3  Design limit load.

The applied force, or maximum probable force, that a provision, including its connecting structural members, will be subjected to in its most severe transport environment.  For lifting, the design limit load is the static load times the load factor (LF).  For equipment tiedown, the design limit load is 4.0 times the gross weight in the longitudinal direction, 2.0 times the gross weight in the vertical direction, and 1.5 times the gross weight in the lateral direction.
