BEAMS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE:
Recognize
the
purpose and use of beams and identify the
loads that each carries.
A beam is a rigid metal item that has an I, H, T, or
circular cross section. The rigid portion is fitted with a
lifting eye, a sling or sling attaching points, and devices
for attaching a load.
MK 18 MOD 1 HANDLING BEAM
The Mk 18 Mod 1 handling beam (fig. 9-15) is a
structural steel weldment that consists of a cylindrical
beam with a lifting eye at its center of gravity and
hook-extender assemblies with safety hooks at each
end. The Mk 18 Mod 1 is used during connected
underway replenishment operations for transferring
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.
