Handling Equipment
The following six items of specislized handling equipeent are required:
(1) A castered assembly dolly which bolds the engine while the oose and
tail assemblies on the interstage adapter are attached.
(2) A strongback for lifting che engine uit from its shipping ccntrainer
onto the assembly dolly.
,
(3) A sose-assecbly stazd co facilitata assembly and checkout of the oie.
(b) A strongback assembly for lifting the nose assexbly and holding it in
positica fcr attachment to the reste of the vehicle.
(5) A strongback for handling the midsection.
(although this sectica is
relatively small and is noreally handled by band, when fully ballasted for the
40,000-foot station, it weighs several hundred pounds.)
(6) A strongback for loading the assezbled webicles on the launcher.
This
equipment has che capability of picking up the wehicle frou a horizontal posi-
tion and rotating it to a near-vertical position for loading onto the Launcher.
The bandling equipment is used in conjumction with any commercial crane
with a boom of approximate 30-foot length and 5000-pound capacity.
All assembly,
with the exception of installation of the spin rockets, is dom on the ground
before installation on the launcher.
In the assembly of the two-stage vehicles,
the assembled booster is loaded onto the lancher, and the assembled second
stage is then placed on top of the booster.
For safety reasons, the spin rock-
ets are not installed until both stages bave been loaded onto the launcher.
