3-8.1 Identification- Cont'd.
5.
The fifth group shows the weight in pounds followed by the volume in cubic feet.
6.
The sixth group states that the contents are components of a particular petroleum distribution system
area or a TPT.
7
The last group is the name and address of the manufacturing contractor packing the goods or for
which the contents are packed. Such as:
Engineered Air Systems, Inc.
1270N. Price Road
St. Louis, Missouri 63132
U.S.A.
d.
If on receipt at the staging area or at the erection site a discrepancy is found which deviates substantially from
the description above, it must be discussed with transportation or installation management before the crate is further
transported and, in any case, before it is opened.
e.
If crates are badly damaged on receipt, the damage should be reported to transportation and/or installation
management before the crate is transported further or opened.
3-8.2 Transport to Site. Unloading, reloading, transport to the site, and unloading at the site are handled by vehicles
and equipment specified and selected by the U.S. Army. The containers must be handled with care regardless of the
content. Any special directions on the container designating which side is up and caution in handling must be respected.
It is recommended that the containers remain closed until they are set down in the final areas designated for erection.
The containers should be set down as near as possible to the final erection point to minimize possible damage and
double handling. The point of set down should be as designated on a field prepared plan that takes into account the plot
plan determined in Section I, para. 3-2 of this chapter.
3-8.3 Unpack and Inspect. Upon arrival at the laydown area near the erection site, the container should be opened so
that the contents can be visually inspected for damage and compared to the packing lists for completeness. Any
damage or missing items should be reported immediately. If planning and scheduling are proper, the contents are to be
removed from the container and set down at or near the final location of the equipment.
The parties handling the equipment must read any overpacked instructions carefully and abide by the instructions
therein. It is recommended that servicing procedures on major equipment take place at or near the erection location to
avoid double handling and unpacking area clutter. Again note any damage. Leave all protective caps and plugs in
place.
Any items shipped in separate boxes within the main container should be clearly marked and set down adjacent to the
major piece of equipment. If practical, such separately boxed goods should be wired or otherwise attached to the main
assembly to avoid loss or misuse. If there is going to be a substantial delay between arrival at the job site and
installation, it is recommended that the materials remain in the container until installation is imminent. If for some reason
the material has been or must be removed from the container and a substantial delay in installation is going to occur, the
equipment should be protected from weather and
