Nomenclature: C-130 Loading Kit
Part Number (Double Axle): 209657
Part Number (Single Axle): 209658

The C130 Loading Kits are available with 10-ton capacity (8-wheel) or 20-ton capacity (16-wheel).  Each C-130 kit provides the following benefits:

• Permits loading of shelters without "trapping" the dolly set inside the aircraft.
• Increases the allowable shelter weight for loading.
• Permits loading of two shelters per aircraft.

With a steerable CLT or Dolly Set on the back end of a container, the C-130 loading kit is installed on the front in less than 15 minutes. All kit components are man-portable and are pinned together in place. Once installed, the kit raises the front end of the container to provide for ramp clearance and cresting and provides steering for this end of the container as it is either pushed or winched into the aircraft. Each kit contains an operator platform for safety during the loading process.

Once inside the aircraft, the container can be lowered to the floor or rollers and the kit can be disassembled in a matter of minutes. The kit can be stowed inside the aircraft (attached to a stowage bracket on the end face of a container) or removed though the side crew door. If the container is loaded with pallets compatible with the C-130 roller system, the container can be pushed all the way forward inside the cargo area to make room for a second container loaded in the same manner.
