SECTION II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1.13 EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES.

1.13.1 The Tricon Container (Model ESETC-01) is a steel container with two doors on one face. The container is painted with a

Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC). Containers with serial numbers less than TC0100263 have twelve shelf support

beams that span the width of the container and connect to vertical shelf supports welded to the container sides. The support beams

are grouped in sets of three to form a horizontal support for shelves. One support beam spans the middle of the container and the

other two are located at either end. Two shelves are placed on top of each set of support beams to form a secure surface for

loading material. Containers with serial numbers TC0100263 or greater do not have shelves or shelf support beams.

1.13.2 Each door has two lockrod assemblies that secure the door in the closed position. The lockrod assemblies are each moved

into or out of their locked position by a handle. Ventilators are located at an upper corner of each door and at the upper corners of

the rear of the container. Containers with serial numbers up to TC0100323 have closable vents. Containers with serial number

TC0100324 or greater use non-closable vents.

1.13.3 Connecting link assemblies are included with each container. These link assemblies are used to connect three containers

together. The corners of the containers have oblong cutouts. The link assemblies are partially inserted into these cutouts and

operated in a manner that locks the containers together. When not in use the connecting link assemblies are stored in an open box

on the inside of the right-hand door.

1.13.4 The Tricon Container (Model 101) is a steel container with two doors on one face. The container is painted with a

"Waterbourne" Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC). The shelf support beams are grouped in sets of three for "front to

back" shelf installation, sets of four or five for "side to side" shelf installation to form a horizontal support for shelves. For "front

to back" shelf installation, one shelf support beam spans the container at either end, with third shelf support beam spanning the

middle. For "side to side" shelf installation two shelf support beams span the container at either end, the optional fifth shelf

support beam spans the middle. Two shelves are placed on top of each set of shelf support beams to form a secure surface for

loading material.
