Section III. TRANSPORT ON FORIEGN RAILROADS.
7-7.
General
The transportability guidance contained m this section is applicable when the LACV-30 is transported on foreign railways.
NOTE
Bulkhead flatcars with end-of-car cushioning probably will not be available in overseas areas. If sensitive
components of the LACV-30 we loaded on general-purpose flatcars, special handling will be re-quired by the railroad
to prevent damage to components.
The sectionalize LACV-30 can be transported without restriction within European countries complying with the
international loading gauge. This also applies to the majority of the countries of the Middle East, South America,
Australia, India, and Pakistan. Clearances vary between countries and within a country. Consequently, evaluation of
transport capability must be made on an individual basis.
7-8.
Transport on European Flatcars
The sectionalized LACV-30 can be transported on a number of European flatcars, provided that the 40.1-foot-long
modules are loaded on flatcars that are at least 50 feet long and 9 feet wide. The requirements for loading, blocking, and
tiedown are essentially the same as within CONUS.
