[www.thenavalarch.com](http://www.thenavalarch.com/) launches the SPMT Loadout Ramp Design Spreadsheet

This App can be used to design a simple steel plate to be used as a ramp for loadout using SPMT Trailer

Very useful to design a simple wide steel plate to be used during simple loadout operation  
[ul]  
[li]The plate is placed between the Quay and the Vessel/Barge to cover the gap and act as a bridge for loadout (see Fig)[/li][li]The spreadsheet evaluates the strength of the steel plate by considering it as a simply supported wide beam with the Quay-Barge gap as upsupported span[/li][li]The plate is designed for a single file of the SMPT trailer.[/li][li]If there are multiple files, plates with the same design can be added for other files during loadout[/li][/ul]
