General. All items placed inside the shelter must be secured to prevent damage from shock or vibration during transport. The packaging, bracing, cushioning and tie-down method employed must be done so it will not allow damage to wall covering and equipment. Make sure the correct sling assembly is available and in good condition, the skids are in good condition and securely mounted to the shelter, and the drain plug is removed for air or rail transport. 3-38. Loading Shelter on a Truck or Rail Car. The shelter with its payload is capable of being trans- . ported by commercial cargo vehicle or any standard 40-foot flatcar as used in the continental United States. During vehicular transport, the shelter should be secured to the transport vehicle or must be crated. 3-39. Storing Shelter. Accumulation of moisture within the shelter resulting from temperature and humidity fluctuations can damage equipment. Minimize moisture accumulation by keeping shelter doors, louver covers, and drain holes open during indoor storage. During outdoor storage, keep doors and drain holes closed, but keep louver covers open. 3-70 Change 1
