The following specifications are provided in order to describe and specify the design, construction, materials and equipment to be utilized and installed in the fabrication of a Model C-100 Animal Transport Unit or equivalent. Description: A fiberglass one-piece molded animal transportation unit with (6) six animal compartments and (1) storage compartment with the access door in the back of the unit. Standard features include a fresh air ventilation system vented to each compartment, a pass-through swing door in the front compartment, bright white LED lighting in each compartment, solid partitions creating 6 individual compartments, sloped floor drainage system, back up alarm, high-low brake lights and flashers, gel coated fiberglass doors with five molded louver vents in the exterior door panel and a vent on the interior door to control airflow. 7 Construction: Reinforced One-Piece Molded Fiberglass Construction with a bright white gel coat high gloss exterior finish. Steel tube frame lines interior around the entire bottom of the unit with cross members to provide a solid mounting structure. All the steel under structure is completely sealed in fiberglass. Body Dimensions: 80” Wide x 45” High x 100” Long Weight: Approximately 900 lbs. Truck Chassis: Provided by Baldwin County. Standard long bed truck chassis with a 56” cab-to-axle (CA) measurement and single rear wheels. Animal Compartment Sizes: Street Side: Front 35 1/2” Wide x 36” High x 38 5/8” Deep (or through body 78”) Center 28 1/8” Wide x 36” High x 30” Deep Rear 32 1/2” Wide x 36” High x 30” Deep Curb Side: Front 35 1/2” Wide x 36” High x 38 5/8” Deep (or through body 78”) Center 28 1/8” Wide x 36” High x 30” Deep Rear 32 1/2” Wide x 36” High x 30” Deep Rear Center Storage: 16” Wide x 32” High x 61 5/8” Deep Under Structure: Framed with 1.5” x 2” 14 gauge high strength tubular steel on all sides with two 2” x 3” 11 gauge high strength tubular cross members. Four 5” x 4” x .375” solid steel angle mounts are installed for easy mounting on the vehicle frame using grade 8 bolts. All steel is completely sealed in fiberglass to minimize exposure to the elements and reduce rust and deterioration. Floor: Constructed using a .75” foam composite board molded and sealed into the unit with three layers of fiberglass. The top layer thickness is .1875” and the bottom layers are .15625” and .1875” in thickness. Floors have a .75” recess creating a trough under the unit with individual drain capabilities. The floor is sloped to the center, so drainage flow is directed to the drain holes and into the trough under the unit keeping compartment floors dry and clean. The undercarriage is sealed with fiberglass which provides maximum insulation preventing heat from rising through the floor. Compartments: Walls and ceilings are gel coat sealed and webbed to provide a smooth, easy to clean finish in the compartments. (Note: Bodies can be made to your specifications and partitions can be made with wire) Doors: Doors are constructed of fiberglass with a bright white gel coat finish on the interior and exterior panels. The outside dimensions of the door are 31 7/8” high x 27 5/16 wide. The exterior panel of the door has (5) five large louver style vents molded into the fiberglass. The louver openings provide ample air flow to exchange air inside the compartments when operating with forced air ventilation. Interior door panel has a stainless steel circular vent that can be opened and closed to control air flow. A stainless steel continuous hinge (1.5”) (20 Gauge) connects the door to the fiberglass body and doors are hinged toward the front. Aluminum drip shields are placed over all doors. A keyed alike stainless steel recessed folding ‘T’ latch locking handle is used
