The GMR Antenna Shipping and Storage Container is a sealed, welded aluminum, controlled breathing, reusable container. The container is engineered for the physical and environmental protection of the antenna during worldwide transportation and storage. The container consists of a base and a completely removable cover equipped with the special features listed below. The base is skid/double walled base extrusion with forklift openings, humidity indicator, pressure equalizing valve and desiccant port for easy replacement of desiccant (controls dehumidification). A silicone rubber gasket and quick release cam-over-center latches create a water/air-tight seal at the base-cover interface. With casters on the base and an adjustable cradle, the container doubles as a fully-functional maintenance stand for the antenna. Container external dimensions are 53.0 inches length, 46.0 inches width, and 56.5 inches height. Container weight is 455 lbs empty, and 520 lbs with the antenna in place. The aluminum cradle system is mounted on helical steel isolators, which in turn are mounted to the interior container floor. The isolators limit the transmission of shock to the antenna to 15 Gs. |
