About this product Used to join two 463L pallets for aircraft equipped with the standard 463L cargo handling system (C-17, C-5, C-130, KC-46, etc.). Two couplers are required for each pallet pair. * Manufacturer certifications are shipped with your order FREE of charge
| Part Number or Model | PH3864-1-1 |
| Description | Square Pallet Coupler |
| Schedule B Class | 8803.30.0060 |
| ECCN (Export Control Class) | EAR99 |
| Operational Requirement | To build a compliant |
| Package Weight | 1.554 lbs (approx. 0.705 kg) per unit. |
| Single Pallet Maximum Weight | A single standard 463L pallet has an absolute maximum cargo capacity of 10,000 lbs |
| Lock Mechanism | Features a bronze/brass lock mechanism to provide a secure, spark-resistant, and corrosion-resistant connection point |
| General Characteristics Item Description | Designed to join two or more 463l type pallet into a pallet train necessary when loading excessively long palletized cargo |
| Body Material | Heavy-duty, high-tensile steel designed to withstand intense g-forces and shifting during flight. |
| End Application | U/o 463l pallets |
| Aircraft Compatibility | Fully approved for standard 463l cargo handling systems embedded in military transports like the c-17 globemaster iii, c-5 galaxy, c-130 hercules, and kc-46 pegasus |
| Operational Longevity Standard | The U.S. Air Force and Air Mobility Command (AMC) prefer a maximum desired load weight of 7,500 lbs per pallet position to avoid warping and extend the lifecycle of the pallet's balsa wood core |
| Pallet Train Structural Limits | When coupled, the maximum cargo limit does not exponentially increase past structural limits. A standard 2-pallet train allows for a maximum of 20,000 lbs total gross load, and a 3-pallet train allows up to 30,000 lbs, provided weight is centered. |
| Area Load Density (PSI Limit) | 250 pounds per square inch (PSI) anywhere on the pallet floor. If the load exceeds 250 PSI, heavy wooden shoring (dunnage) must be used to spread the footprint over a broader surface |
| Restraint Constraint | Traditional 463L nets cannot be legally used across the gap of coupled pallets. Because nets fail to properly secure a train, 100% of the cargo restraint must be done via high-strength CGU-1/B tie-down straps or MB-1/MB-2 chains secured directly to the aircraft cargo floor track |
