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.

6.   NOTES

This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.

6.1  Intended use.

This standard covers the design and testing of lifting, equipment tiedown, multipurpose, cargo tiedown, large cargo tiedown, and supplemental air transport tiedown provisions.

6.2  Issue of DODISS.

When this standard is used in acquisition, the issue of the DODISS applicable to the solicitation should be cited (paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2).

6.3  Associated Data Item Descriptions (DIDs).

This standard is cited in DOD 5010.12-L, Acquisition Management Systems and Data Requirements Control List (AMSDL), as a source document for the following DID. When it is necessary to obtain the applicable data, this DID must be listed on the Contract Data Requirements List (DD Form 1423), except where DOD FAR Supplement exempts the requirement for a DD Form 1423.

Prior to citing DIDs on DD Form 1423, the current issue of the AMSDL must be researched to ensure that the most current and approved DID is cited.

6.4  Tiedown system.

If a proposed rail tiedown procedure differs from that represented in TEA Pamphlet

55-19, Tiedown Handbook for Rail Movements, or if the procedure is marked "do not use for new equipment" (or has a similiar statement) the materiel developer should obtain SDDCTEA concurrence prior to testing. Items that require more than four chains for rail tiedown will be tested with more than one chain at each tiedown provision, but all chains to each provision will act in the same general direction, usually out, away from the item. Nylon straps are not allowed to be used for rail tiedown.
