heavy-haul transport: Transportation of dimensional loads (loads that exceed acceptable route limits forlength, width, height,or weight) over roadway or land using specialized, heavy-duty multi-wheeledvehicles and associated rigging equipment.
hydraulic jack: A lifing means powered by hydraulic action. Hydraulic jacks may be used singly or witmultiple jacks operated in parallel to lift the load
idler cars: Empty rail cars in front and behind the rail car being usedcarry a particular load.acting toadd stability, to distribute the weight of the locomotive(s) and heavy rail cars more evenly over bridges orlighter track, to provide additional wheels for braking effort, for safety separation from the locomotive, andto better-protect the load as it is transported
impact recorder: A device which records accelerations, g-force in the longitudinal (X-axis), lateral (Yaxis)and vertical (Z-axis) directions. Impact recorders may have pre-set or user-settable thresholdmagnitude of impact registered, may measure magnitude of impact only, may measure magnitude andduration of the impact (energy) during the impact, and/or may be equipped with a global positioning systeni(GPS) location system. Syn: shock recorder.
Incoterms@: Incoterms rules or International Commercial terms are a series of pre-defined commercialterms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) widely used in international commercialtransactions.
International Maritime Organization (IMO): United Nations agency concerned with safe, secure, andefficient shipping on clean oceans.
jack and slide procedure: A procedure using hydraulic jacks and cribbing materials to raise or lower aload onto a set of beams or rails on which the load is then pulled via the pulling facilities or pulled/pushedby hydraulic rams to slide or roll the load along the beams in order to locate the load in its final positionSyn: jack and roll; jack and glide.
jacking facilities: Reinforced portions of cquipment tanks that are designated as points where thequipment can be lifted safely by hydraulic jacks (refer to lEEE Std C57.12.10). Syn: jacking points:jacking pads.
lifting lugs: Special connection points on equipment tanks that are designed to support the weight of thcequipment (or other load) while being lifted from these points.
platform trailer: A multi-axle trailer with a flat load surface for transporting heavy loads.
prime mover: The driving equipment, such as a truck or tractor, which pulls or pushes a non-poweredtrailer.
pulling eyes: Special connection points that are designed to support the weight of the load while beingpulled in a horizontal direction. Syn: hauling eyes.
rail siding: A portion of a rail line branching off the main line, where empty or loaded railcars can beplaced to move the cargo from or to a different means of transport.
Railway Industrial Clearance Association (RICA): An association of members involved in providingrail clearance data for over-dimension and over-weight rail cargo loads.
rider services: Monitoring services whereby an individual travels with or alongside the rail shipment inorder to monitor movement fromm the point of origin to the final rail destination.
