INTRODUCTION
A. BACKGROUND. The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School (USADACS),
Validation Engineering Division (SIOAC-DEV), was tasked by the U.S. Army Tank-automotive
and Armaments Command (TACOM) to test the ISO-Compatible Palletized Flatrack (IPF) on
the Palletized Loading System (PLS) truck and the PLS trailer with ammunition loads for
compliance with Transportability Testing Procedures, TP-94-01, July 1994.
B. AUTHORITY. These tests were conducted LAW mission responsibilities delegated by U.S.
Army Armament, Munitions and Chemical Command, Rock Island, IL 61299-5000. Reference
is made to Change 4, 4 October 1974, to AR 740-1, 23 April 1971, Storage and Supply
Operations; AMCCOMR 10-17,13 January 1986, Mission and Major Functions of USADACS.
C. OBJECTIVE. The objective of these tests was to validate the design criteria of the IPF for
the transportation of ammunition and retrograde configurations in all modes of transportation.
Rail impact tests were conducted with various types of ammunition loaded on the IPF
transported on a Container-on-flatcar (COFC), Trailer-on-flatcar (TOFC), PLS truck on standard
flatcar, and PLS trailer on standard flatcar. Test loads on the IPF also traversed the road hazard
course and were subjected to the Shipboard Transportation Simulator (STS).
D. CONCLUSIONS. Several failures occurred during testing of the IPF between 15 May and
22 June 1995. They are as follows:
1. While transporting the IPF in a retrograde configuration of five high, the twist locks
used to interlock one IPF to the IPF above failed.
1-1
2. While normally handling the IPF with a 10,000-pound rough terrain forklift, the JJPF slid
on the forklift tines and the forklift tine end punched a hole in the IPF deck and bent one IPF
crossmember.
3. During transportation testing of the loaded IPF, it was observed that the tops of the end
walls were spreading outward. This was verified when a standard 20-foot container handler
could not mate with the upper International Organization for Standardization (ISO) corner
fittings at the opposite end of the IPF. The distances measured were slightly in excess of
242 inches between the corner fittings on opposite end walls. The maximum ISO overall
external dimension is 238-7/8 inches. Close scrunity of one IPF showed that the pivot, locking,
and A-frame pins were permanently deformed.
4. The IPF end wall is covered with corrugated sheet metal instead of a wooden deck. The
narrow part of the corrugations are oriented toward the load side end wall. The width of the
corrugation is approximately one inch extending from the floor to the top. This narrow surface
presents a high stress concentration to the load, offering damage to the load or flattening of the
corrugation. Flattened corrugations were observed after rail transportation tests.
5. The end wall pivot pin mounting assemblies are bolted to the IPF from the load side of
the end wall. These bolt heads protrude above the planes of the end wall corrugations and
damage loaded cargo.
E. RECOMMENDATIONS As of 23 June 1995, recommendations are as follows:
1. Twist locks were remounted and butt plates added to restrict lateral movement of the
IPF during retrograde transportation. Functionality and effectiveness of this production
modification will be tested at a later date.
1-2
2. Add a forklift tine tunnel to prevent the forklift tines from making direct contact with
the deck underside, resulting in deck damage.
3. Modify the IPF end wall design to transmit rotational loading to the center and side
rails. The current design supports all end wall loading on four or six pins. These pins are not
strong enough and yield from rotational loading experienced in rail transportation. The
rotational and locking pins should be fabricated from a stronger material.
4. Replace the corrugated IPF end wall with a smooth flat surface to reduce high stress
concentrations which can damage the load and the end wall. Extend the smooth flat surface
thickness sufficiently to match the height of the end wall pivot pin assembly bolts.

PART 3
TEST PROCEDURES
A. Test procedures were extracted from Transportability Testing Procedures, TP-94-01,
July 1994, for validating tactical vehicles and outloading procedures used for shipping munitions
by intermodal freight containers, commercial or tactical truck, trailer, or railcar.
B. The test loads were prepared using the same blocking and bracing methods specified in the
tiedown procedures proposed for use with munitions (see Part 6). The IPFs used in these tests
were inspected to ensure their adequacy for munitions transport. Items used to build the load
were inert (nonexplosive). The weight and physical characteristics of the load configuration
were identical to the live (explosive) ammunition provided for in the tiedown procedure; i.e.,
weights, physical dimensions, center of gravity (CG), materials, etc. The ammunition packages
duplicated that of live ammunition.
C. Tests conducted for this set of load configurations are as follows:
1. Rail Impact - COFC (Test Method No. 1).
2. Rail Impact - TOFC (Test Method No. 1).
3. Rail Impact - PLS Trailer on flatcar (Test Method No. 1).
4. Rail Impact - PLS Truck on flatcar (Test Method No. 1).
5. Hazard Course - PLS Truck and Trailer (Test Method No. 2).
6. Road Trip - PLS Truck and Trailer (Test Method No. 3).
7. Hazard Course - PLS Truck and Trailer (Test Method No. 2).
8. Washboard Course - PLS Truck and Trailer (Test Method No. 6).
3-1
D. The test methods are as follows:
1. Test Method No. 1 (Rail Impact Test). The loaded IPF was tested on a COFC, a container
chassis secured to a stanchion on a TOFC, the PLS trailer secured to a flatcar, and the PLS truck
secured to a flatcar. Equipment needed to perform the test included the specimen (hammer) car,
five empty railroad cars connected together to serve as an anvil, and a railroad locomotive.
These anvil cars were positioned on a level section of track with air and hand brakes set and with
the draft gears compressed. The locomotive unit pulled the specimen car several hundred yards
away from the anvil cars, pushed the specimen car toward the anvil at a predetermined speed,
then disconnected from the specimen car approximately 50 yards away from the anvil cars which
allowed the specimen car to roll freely along the track until it struck the anvil. This constituted
an impact. Impacting was accomplished at speeds of 4, 6, and 8.1 mph and at a speed of
8.1 mph in reverse. The 4 mph and 6 mph impact speeds were approximate; the 8.1 mph speed
was minimum. Impact speeds were determined by using an electronic counter to measure the
time for the specimen car to traverse an 11-foot distance immediately prior to contact with the
anvil cars (see Figure 1).
2. Test Method No. 2 - (Hazard Course). This step required the loaded IPF to be transported
over the 200-foot-long segment of concrete-paved road which consisits of two series of railroad
ties projecting 6-inches above the level or the road surface. The loaded IPF traversed this course
two times.
3. Test Method No. 3 - (Road Trip). The loaded IPF was transported for a distance of
30 miles over a combination of roads surfaced with gravel, concrete, or asphalt. The test route
included curves, corners, railroad crossings, cattle guards, and stops and starts. The IPF traveled
at the maximum speed for the particular road being traversed, except as limited by legal
restrictions. Upon completion of the 30-mile road trip, the loaded IPF was subjected to three full

airbrake stops while traveling in the forward direction and one in the reverse direction. The first
three stops were at 5, 10, and 15 mph, while the stop in the reverse direction was approximately
5 mph.
4. Test Method No. 4 - (Shipboard Transportation Simulator) (STS). The IPF was positioned
onto the STS and securely locked in place using the cam lock at each ISO corner fitting. The
STS began oscillating at an angle of 30 degrees, plus or minus 2 degrees, either side of vertical
at a frequency of 2 cycles-per-minute (cpm) (30 seconds plus or minus 2 seconds total roll
period). This frequency was observed for apparent defects that could cause a safety hazard. The
frequency of oscillation was increased to 4 cpm (15 seconds plus or minus one second roll
period) and the apparatus operated for 2 hours. If inspection of the load does not indicate an
impending failure, the frequency of oscillation is increased to 5 cpm (12 seconds plus or minus
3-4
one second-cycle-time), and the apparatus operated for 4 hours. The operation does not have to
be continuous; however, no change or adjustments to the load or load restraints was permitted at
any time during the test. After being set in place, the IPF was not removed from the STS until
the test was completed.
5. Test Method No. 6 - (Washboard Course). The IPF was driven over the washboard course
(Figure 3) at a speed which produced the most violent response in the IPF. The washboard
course is constructed as shown in Figure 3.

Subject: Failure of Twist Locks on Production IPF

1. The twist locks failed on all but one of the production IPFs during rail impact testing on
a friction draft gear TOFC. The twist lock separated from the pivot arm after taking the stress of
the sliding interlocked flatracks above and below the interlocked positions. The test
configuration consisted of five IPFs on a chassis trailer loaded onto a TOFC. Impacts were
performed at 4.95, 7.00, and 8.78 mph in the reverse direction and at 8.68 mph in the forward
direction. Following each impact, each flatrack shifted the 1-inch ISO tolerance so that they
appeared stepped in the direction of impact. The twistlock hinge pin broke at the welds. The
hinges - connecting the hinge pin to the twistlock - were stretched. Welds between the hinge and
the twistlock were lacking in good penetration. A suggested fix is to allow the hinge arm to float
about the hinge pin with enough space to accommodate the ISO tolerances. This takes the shear
impact loads off of the hinge pin and arm and transfers them to the stop, plated in the corner
posts.
2. One JJPF wooden deck was punched through from the bottom with a forklift tine during
pallet movement. This pointed out the fact that some of the wood used in fabricating the deck is
of questionable quality. There should also be protection from forklift tines between the pallet
deck and the forklift pockets.
3. No manuals were shipped with the IPF. The 3/4-inch ratchet bar provided with the
flatrack can be used to seat the twist locks. A pinch bar, crow bar, and hammer were used to seat
the twistlocks in preparation for testing.
4. Rail transportation on the PLS truck. The PLS load handling system could sustain
damage from rail impacts due to the three-high retrograde load of IPFs due to the ISO interface
tolerance. The lower JJPF is pinned to the truck. The next two can slide approximately 3/4-inch
each for a total of 1-1/2 inches. This movement could result in damage to the PLS hook arm in a
rail transportation mode.
4-5
5. A bail bar is being prepared for shipment to USADACS for use in loading three-high
IPFs on the PLS truck for retrograde. ISO-Compatible palletized flatracks must be bundled with
load binders and chains at each end and have diagonal web straps on each side to maintain an
envelope for loading on the PLS truck and interlocking.
6. Recommend putting vibration-proof nuts on the bolts holding the storage box doors
shut. Most of the ones installed at the factory fell off before arriving at USADACS.
7. Recommend adding drain holes to the back of the storage boxes. They accumulate
water when the end walls are in the stowed position.
