Beams are to be constructed of body <br />matching material, profile is to be of minimum height to maximize hose bed depth, and the beams are to <br />be positioned no more than twenty (20) inches apart. <br />Extruded aluminum slatted hose bed floor gratings are to be furnished, running longitudinally the full <br />length of the hose bed. Longitudinal grating slats are to be fastened to underside perpendicular cross -slats <br />which extend the full width of the hose bed cavity. The hose bed floor gratings are to be assembled with <br />bolts (not welded), so as to allow for future modifications and repairs to the grating assembly. <br />Longitudinal gratings are to be single piece full length extrusions, spaced at least .5" apart to allow for <br />hose ventilation. Cross -slats are to be positioned to rest on the top surface of the specified overhead tank <br />retainer/ hose load support beams. <br />STAINLESS STEEL ADJUSTABLE HOSEBED DIVIDER TRACKS <br />Channel fabricated stainless steel hose bed divider horizontal slide tracks are to be furnished, transverse <br />at the rear of hose bed, designed so as to retain the floor gratings and prevent snagging of hose or <br />couplings during deployment and re -loading operations. <br />In addition to the rear transverse hose bed divider slide track, two (2) parallel transverse stainless steel <br />horizontal channel tracks shall be furnished, bolted to/removable from the specified forward cross <br />divider. Forward and rear horizontal channel tracks are to be provided with sliding friction clamps and <br />threaded studs with acorn nuts, allowing infinite side -to -side adjustment of hose bed divider location. <br />2-HOSEBED DIVIDERS <br />Two (2) each, adjustable hose bed dividers shall be furnished, constructed of 1/4" unpainted aluminum. <br />Front and bottom of divider shall have weld on T extrusion for structural integrity and adjustment. <br />The top rear corner of the divider panels shall have a 3" radius, to prevent damage to tarps and restraints. <br />All horizontal, vertical, and rear radius metal edges are to be DA sanded smooth to prevent personnel <br />injury and hose damage. <br />07/26/22 <br />- 119 - <br />
