Overview

Title:  LIFTING AND TIEDOWN PROVISIONS Scope:  This standard establishes dimensional limits, design considerations, positioning requirements, and strength requirements for lifting (to include helicopter sling load (HSL)) and tiedown provisions for lifting or tying down tanks and other tracked vehicles, tactical wheeled vehicles, helicopters, and other military equipment shipped assembled or disassembled in unboxed or uncrated condition, and for restraining cargo or accessories to such equipment.
