SKIDS, WEAPONS TRANSPORTERS, AND ASSOCIATED ADAPTERS LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify the purpose and use of skids, weapons transporters, and associated adapters. Recognize the safe loads for each. A skid or weapon transporter is a mobile piece of equipment with a welded frame-type construction mounted on two or four rubber-tired wheels. It is used with various adapters to support a load for movement from one area to another. Wheeled skids or weapons transporters are generally equipped with a brake mechanism so the skid won’t move when unattended. Handles are attached to all mobile skids and weapons transporters to provide a means of moving and controlling the units. The units are not self-propelled and require either manpower or power equipment to move them. They are used for handling various weapons and miscellaneous ammunition items during the aircraft rearming process aboard aircraft carriers and at shore stations. You can’t use skids and weapons transporters without adapters. Adapters are an interface between the skid or weapon transporter and the weapon or store to be supported They provide a support surface and a means of securing the weapon or store to the skid or transporter. This prevents any inadvertent movement. There are many different types of adapters available for any one particular skid or weapon transporter, or an adapter may be compatible with several different skids or weapons transporters. Adapters are attached to the skids or weapons transporters by quick-release pins or other types of quick-change devices. AERO 12C BOMB SKID The Aero 12C bomb skid (fig. 9-26) is a wheelbarrow skid. It consists of a cradle frame mounted on two rubber-tired wheels and equipped with two supporting legs. The skid has two tubular steel handles that you can quickly latch or unlatch.
