palletized unit loads. The beam is designed for coupling with cargo hoisting assembly Mk 20 Mod 0, and normally it is used with adjustable pallet slings for making the transfer. ADU-399/E GUIDED MISSILE HOISTING BEAM The ADU-399/E guided missile hoisting beam (fig. 9-16) is an aluminum weldment that consists of a beam supported on forklift channels and structural members. These components form the base assembly. Rubber-lined cradles mounted fore and aft on the beam prevent metal-to-metal contact. The cradles have side supports held in position by quick-release pins. When you are loading or unloading the beam, remove the quick-release pins to let the side supports swing down out of the way. There are two adjustable tubular extenders on the fore end of the beam that support a vinyl-covered housing. The housing protects the weapon’s radome. Quick-release pins secure the extenders to the beam and the radome protector to the extenders. There are cable hoists mounted on the base assembly and held in the hoisting position by quick-release pins. When the pins are removed, the hoists swing down and forward into the stowed position. The ADU-399/E guided missile hoisting beam is used for ground support handling of the Phoenix missile during aircraft loading/unloading operations. This beam may be used in conjunction with the HLU-196B/E bomb hoist, the A/M32K-1A/1B/1C SATS loader, or the ADU400/E weapon skid loading adapter.
