TRANSPORTABILITY DATA
Section I. GENERAL
2 - 1 . S c o p e
This chapter provides transportability characteristics of the SEE, HME, and HMMH.
2-2. Description
The SEE, HME, and HMMH are commercial items of construction equipment. The tractor portion of the equipment is a light truck chassis equipped with a diesel engine, multispeed range transmission, and offroad flotation tires. The tractor has a 45-mile-per-hour (72-km/h) highway convoy speed as well as a full drive rough-terrain capability.
a. The SEE tractor configuration consists of the basic tractor with a 3/4-cubic-yard-capacity front end loader and rear-mounted backhoe. The backhoe has a 7-cubic-foot-capacity bucket, as shown in figure 2-1.
b.The HME variant consists of the same basic tractor as the SEE, but with a dozer blade (85 inches wide and 32 inches high) on the front end and an entrencher on the rear. No photograph is available at this time.
c.The HMMH variant consists of the same basic tractor as the SEE, but with a 4,000-pound (1814-kg)-capacity forklift mounted to the front and a 6,000 pound (2722-kg)-capacity crane attached to the rear of the vehicle, as shown in figure 2-2.
2-3. Transportability Drawings
Figures 2-3 through 2-5 are detailed sideand rear-view transportability drawings of the SEE, HME, and HMMH with dimensions, tiedown and lifting provisions, and load-rating capacities.

4 - 3 . A p p l i c a b i l i t y
a. US Air Force Aircraft. When prepared for loading as described in paragraph 4-5, the SEE, HME, and HMMH are transportable in C-130, C-141, and C-5 aircraft.
b.Tiedown Devices. The SEE, HME, and HMMH will be tied down according to section IV of applicable procedures in TO 1C-XXX–9.
c.Loadmaster. The loadmaster will ensure that
the loaded equipment is secured according to restraint criteria outlined in TO 1C–XXX–9.
NOTE
Air Force aircraft loads in this manual are illustrated to a minimum restraint of 3 g forward, 1.5 g aft, 1.5 g lateral and 2 g vertical. (Reference 1C-XXX-9 and MIL-STD-1791.)
4 - 4 . S a f e t y
In addition to safety precautions contained in chapter 3, the following precautions apply for the SEE, HME, and HMMH:
a.Ensure that the fuel tanks are not less than one-fourth or more than three-fourths full.
b.Check each vehicle carefully to ensure that
all loose items are properly secured.
c.Check each vehicle to ensure there are no fluid leaks.
d.Check all tiedown provisions and attached structural members for any damage.
e.Check tire pressure to ensure tires are at recommended highway pressure.
f. Check batteries to ensure they are protected against short circuits and secured so that leakage of acid cannot occur (reference TM 38–250, para 8-47a). Also, check the fuel tanks and hydraulic systems to ensure they comply with TM 38–250.
WARNING
Fire extinguishers must be readily available during all loading and unloading.
WARNING
Provide proper ventilation during loading. Prolonged inhalation of exhaust fumes could be fatal.
WARNING
Do not allow the vehicle to exceed 3 miles per hour (walking speed) inside the aircraft or on the loading ramps.
4-5. Preparation of Equipment
a.Fold both mirrors and secure them with rope to the roll over protection structure (ROPS).
b.Secure rear attachments with 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) and two clips, when shipped in the travel position. Install wire rope taut (not tight) around the ROPS (or tiedown provision as directed) and rear attachment to restrain the attachment in case the mechanical lock is not engaged or fails.
4-6. Transport by US Aircraft
a. The SEE, when shipped in C–130 and C–141 aircraft, will have the backhoe attachment in the operational configuration. The SEE should be backed into the C-130 and C-141 aircraft using two qualified operators. One driver operates the tractor and the other operates the backhoe, adjusting height during loading and unloading operations. Each SEE requires two stacks of parking shoring (2 x 6 inches x 4 feet, two per stack) between the front end loader and the aircraft floor. Also, place two stacks of shoring (2 x 6 inches x 4 feet, two per stack) under lowered bucket and aircraft floor.
b. The HME and HMMH, when shipped in C–130 and C–141 aircraft, must be in the travel configuration.
(1) HME. Install 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) through ROPS and over entrenched attachment, forming a loop. Secure the loop by pulling and installing the wire rope taut (not tight) with two 1/2-inch clips. Each HME requires two stacks
4-1
T M 5 5 - 2 4 2 0 - 2 2 4 - 1 4
of parking shoring (2 x 6 inches x 4 feet, two per stack) between the front dozer blade and the aircraft floor.
(2) HMMH. Install 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) around top crane arm and through left center tiedown provision on chassis, forming a loop. Secure the loop by pulling the wire rope taut (not tight) and installing two 1/2-inch clips. Repeat same procedure for right side, except loop wire rope through right provision on chassis. Each HMMH requires two stacks of parking shoring (2 x 6 inches x 5 feet, two per stack) between the front forklift tines and the aircraft floor. Also the rear outriggers are to be secured with 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) looped around each outrigger and secured with two 1/2-inch clips.
c. The C–5 aircraft can transport the SEE, HME, and HMMH in the travel configurations.
(1)SEE. Install 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) taut (not tight) around the ROPS and the backhoe attachment and secure with two 1/2-inch clips. Also, install on right outrigger a 1/2-inch wire rope (safety cable) taut (not tight) through the bucket tiedown provisional and around outriggers. Repeat procedures for left outrigger. Each SEE requires two stacks of parking shoring (2 x 6 inches x 4 feet, two per stack) between the front end loader and the aircraft floor.
(2)HME and HMMH. To transport the HME and HMMH in the C–5 aircraft, follow the same
procedures in paragraph 4-6b.
d.The shoring is required to protect the aircraft floor and any downward motion of the front or rear implements on the aircraft floor.
e.All shoring material will be furnished by the shipper and installed as directed by the aircraft loadmaster.
f.The aircraft commander or his/her representative ensures that the vehicles are loaded/unloaded and properly secured in the aircraft according to the criteria in section IV of the appropriate technical order.
g.Typical tiedown diagrams (figs 4-1 through 4–3) are based on acceptable methods. They can be
used as a guide for loading and securing the SEE, HME, and HMMH aboard aircraft and also for preparing a vehicle for air transport. The tiedowns are part of the aircraft equipment.
4-7. Transport by LVAD and LAPE
The SEE is certified for low altitude parachute extraction (LAPE) from US Air Force C–130 aircraft and certified for low velocity airdrop (LVAD) from US Air Force C-130 and C-141 aircraft. Preparation and procedures for LAPE and LVAD
airdrops are described in FM 10–539 and TO 13C7-1-17.
4-8. Helicopter Transport
The SEE is within the external lift capability of the CH–47D helicopter in either single-hook (fig 4–3) or dual-hook (fig 4–4) configuration at airspeeds of 100 knots. The load is also suitable for external transport by the CH–54 helicopter (fig 4-5) at airspeeds of 95 knots.
