3-speed automatic transmission, liquid cooled, rear-wheel-drive tractor designed for towing aircraft weighing up to 100,000 pounds. The frame is a welded-steel one-piece unit, with cross brace, power assisted front wheel steering, hydraulic boost power disc brakes, and a conventional 12-volt electrical system, with alternator, to supply power for the lights and accessories, horn, starter motor, ignition, and instruments. Front and rear tow couplers (pintles) and tie-down attachments are provided. Crash and Salvage Equipment Various salvage and maintenance cranes, fire-fighting vehicles, and Twinned Agent Unit (TAU-2H) extinguishers are discussed in the following text. A/S32A-35A (CVCC) AIRCRAFT CRASH HANDLING AND SALVAGE CRANE.—The A/S32A-35A aircraft crash handling and salvage crane (fig.  9-7)  is  a  self-propelled,  four-wheel  drive, six-cylinder, liquid-cooled, turbocharged, diesel electric-powered vehicle mounted on six pneumatic rubber tires. The ac generator is directly coupled to the engine and provides power to the drive motors, luff/hoist winch motor, auxiliary hoist/counterweight wench motor and motor control systems. A hydraulic pump is directly coupled to the engine and provides fluid flow for steering, self-adjusting service brakes, and winch brake control. Vehicle steering is accomplished by hydraulic cylinders, which connect to the rear axle and main frame. The front and rear axles pivot in opposite directions, allowing significant turning capability. The crane main hoist has a static lift capacity of 75,000 pounds and the crane auxiliary hoist has a lift capacity of 10,000 pounds. The crane is capable of operating aboard ship in inclement weather. It is designed to be stowed on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, where it will be exposed to extreme weather and corrosive conditions. In service, the crane will lift crashed/damaged aircraft from various locations and attitudes and move loads on a rolling and pitching ship to a safe parking zone on the flight deck. A/S32A–36A  (AACC)  AIRCRAFT  CRASH HANDLING AND SALVAGE CRANE.—The A/S32A-36A aircraft crash handling and salvage crane (fig. 9-8) is a six-wheel, four-wheel drive, liquid-cooled, turbocharged, diesel, electric-powered, self-propelled vehicle. Steering is hydraulically controlled via the front and rear wheels. Mid and rear axle drive motors provide traction power and has a 9-4 ANF0907 Figure 9-7.—A/S32A-35A (CVCC) aircraft crash handling and salvage crane.
