ASTM A-325 Specifications for Structural Joints dated April 1978. J.I.C. Standards for Hydraulic Systems. American Iron and Steel Institute Committee of Wire Rope Producers. ANSI B30.9 - 1971 Slings ANSI B30.2.0 ? 1976 Overhead and Gantry Cranes . SAE J881A Lifting Crane Drum and Sheave sizes. Machine General Arrangement: The diesel engine driven hydraulic power unit shall be enclosed in metal shrouding or fiberglass reinforced protection and mounted in an underslung position below one of the main longitudinal beams to allow easy access from ground level for servicing and maintenance. The main upper cross beam shall be fitted with a structural pivot to eliminate torsional stress in this member and allow the frame to oscillate while traveling over uneven surfaces. All operating controls are to be located in the operator?s station for complete unit and function control by a single operator. Hoisting System: The hoisting system shall consist of four independently powered winch drums driven with hydraulic motors coupled through planetary gear reducers, to provide independent or simultaneous driving of the winches and precise, smooth control for handling light or maximum loads. The assembly shall be mounted rigid to the structural frame. The winch drums shall be sized to hold sufficient wire rope to hoist the boat from mean low water, which is 8.25 ft below the level of the wheels (Appendix 1). Each hoist shall be equipped with a mechanical anti-two block system to prevent damage to the sheaves if the upper and lower blocks come in contact during hoisting. The unit shall be equipped with load sensors to measure hoist cable line pull, which will provide a full time readout (in pounds) of each sling to an indicator gauge at the operator?s station. The system shall have an audible alarm that will sound when the rated load is exceeded on either sling. Machine Details: Sheaves and Drums: All hoist systems sheaves and drums shall be fitted with low friction, sealed roller bearings. Wheels and Pivots: All wheels and wheel pivots shall be fitted with sealed tapered, roller bearings and provided with zerk lube fittings, for periodic greasing. All other rotating or oscillating parts shall be fitted with bearings and zerk lube fittings, for periodic greasing.Tires: Aircraft type tires shall have a minimum of 20-ply rating. Steering System: Steering system shall be hydraulic actuated on the two front wheels, providing synchronized turning angles to each tire for tracking of the tires without scuffing and scubbing. The turning angles shall be near 90 degree turning angle to the steered wheels in right and left-hand turn. Propulsion and wheel traction shall be hydraulically powered to the front wheels with a system to provide differential action to each wheel while turning through a 90-degree turn. The drive system shall be fitted with a brake system that will hold the parked machine on a 6% grade unattended. A brake system shall also be provided to stop the machine smoothly, while traveling fully loaded down a 6% grade. In the event of loss of power, a spring-applied brake shall hold the load on a 6% grade. Boat lifting slings shall be provided to distribute the lifting force into the hull of the boat without causing high stress points. The slings shall be of high strength nylon material and rated to carry the maximum load to the boat lift. Sling Adjustments: The front and rear slings shall be power adjustable in the longitudinal direction to provide positioning under the boat in the best-desired location and also to provide equal distribution of the load.All high-pressure hydraulic lines shall be of type 304 stainless steel, meeting ASTM-A249. All lines shall be sized according to the flow rate and formed to provide neat and organized bundling along the structure. All lines shall be supported to reduce vibration. Hydraulic fittings shall be zinc plated steel material with JIC type connections. All hoses shall meet JIC standards to meet pressure and bending requirements. Hoses shall be used only in areas where flexing, bending or alignment is required. Hose lengths for each diameter and type of hose shall be standardized to reduce the number of spares required.All controls and instruments shall be mounted in the operator?s station and controls shall be designed to provide smooth and precise control of all operating function of the machinery.

Total coating thickness shall be 3.4 ? 4 mils. Factory Testing: The manufacturer shall assemble, inspect, and load test the unit at STA Jones Beach. Parts will be assembled into sub-assemblies according to practical arrangement for shipping purposes. Any defects found during inspection and testing shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. Dimensions: The overall dimensions of the machine, ie. length, width, and height, shall be as such to operate over, on, and within the limitations of the structures shown in Appendix 1. Special Condition: The Contractor is responsible for removing the existing 35 Ton ACME unit. However, the existing unit shall not be taken out of service until the new unit is operational. The existing unit shall become the property of the Contractor after acceptance of the new unit by the Contracting Officer.
