- Description
- Dover Air Force Base, Delaware is looking for sources to provide the following: Repair and refurbish a empennage platform (hereinafter referred to as the tail stand) designed to service the tail components of C-5A aircraft (See attached). The tail stand shall be brought to fully functional condition, upgraded and modified. The tail stand is a 70-ton (approximate), 70-foot tall, self-propelled lattice structure comprised of square tubing weldments. The main structural members are four leg columns joined by bolting to structural fixed deck supports. The structure is arranged to envelop the tail of the aircraft and provide six work levels, all connected by stairs and serviced by a 1000-pound capacity elevator. The sixth work level provides access to the horizontal stabilizer. Each work level consists of a fixed deck that houses a set of sliding deck panels that are manually pulled out to close the gap between the edge of the fixed deck and the vertical stabilizer. The stand is also equipped with a 1000-pound capacity jib crane, a 1000-pound capacity traveling hoist on an I-beam, and four stabilizing jacks. The tail stand is supported by four two-wheel axles: two fixed axles are powered by a hydrostatic drive, and two steered axles are un-powered. A 107 HP, 2800-RPM gasoline engine provides the power to drive and steer the stand at 2 mph in still air and at a slower speed against 40 mph wind. The nominal working pressure of the hydraulic system is 2000 psi. When in position around the tail, the elevator, jib crane, and the hoist are powered through an electric cable from the hangar power source.
