NOTES
Table shows load (MLC) capacity based on one vehicle positioned on the raft centerline and centered on the deck. The
values shown for 3-/4/5-bay rafts apply for wheeled or tracked vehicles. The values shown for a 6-bay raft apply for
track/wheel vehicles as shown.
Ratings apply only with bottom of ramp ends just clear of water. Ramps raised for loading must be lowered before raft is
underway.
Raft commander must observe leading edge of raft and decrease speed or halt operations as necessary if water coming
over bow exceeds 1 inch.
