TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS:
This proposal constitutes an offer submitted by Whiting Equipment Services Co., Ltd. ("Seller") for the sale to Purchaser of the
equipment ("Equipment") or services ("Services") described herein. Any acceptance of this offer is limited to acceptance of the
express terms of the offer contained in these General Proposal Conditions. Any proposal for additional or different terms or any
attempt by Purchaser to vary, in any degree, any of the terms in Purchaser’s acceptance by purchase order or otherwise shall not
operate as a rejection of this offer to sell unless such variance is in the terms of the description, quantity, price, or delivery schedule
of the Equipment or Services, but shall be deemed a material alternation thereof, and this offer shall be deemed accepted by
Purchaser without said additional or different terms. If this document shall be deemed an acceptance of a prior offer by Purchaser,
such acceptance is expressly conditional on Purchaser's assent to any additional or different terms contained herein. This Proposal
is submitted for consideration and acceptance within thirty (30) days from its date.
2. PRICES AND TAXES:

Unless otherwise stated herein, all sales shall be F.C.A. Seller's shipping point(s), and all prices specified herein are exclusive of any
costs of any sales, use, value added, excise, employment, gross receipts, business and occupation or similar present or future taxes
imposed by any governmental body on the sale, delivery, erection/installation, use or other handling of the Equipment or in
connection with any transactions contemplated by this Proposal. If any such taxes are incurred, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller
the amount of such tax, including any fine, penalty, or interest thereon incurred as a result of Purchaser's instructions or lack
thereof, immediately upon presentation of Seller's invoice therefor. Upon request, the Purchaser shall supply Seller with copies of
evidence of payment of or exemption from any taxes, levies or duties which the Purchaser is obligated to pay.
3. LIMITED WARRANTIES:
A. ENGINEERING SERVICES:
Seller warrants that the work and services performed by it hereunder shall be performed in accordance with accepted
engineering standards. Seller MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY. Seller’s total liability in the event of any breach of the foregoing warranty, or otherwise for any losses,
damages, claims or demands arising out of the work and services performed by Seller under this agreement, shall be limited
to re-performing, at Seller’s expense, that portion of the work and services for which such breach or otherwise has occurred
and provided that any such claim or demand shall be made promptly in writing to Seller. Seller shall not be responsible or
liable for defective material and equipment, and Seller shall not be responsible or liable for property damage or bodily injury
arising out of the work and services performed under this agreement. Seller MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR
GUARANTEES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FACILITIES FOR WHICH Seller’s WORK AND
SERVICES ARE FURNISHED, and Purchaser shall have complete control of said facilities at all times. Except as otherwise
provided in this paragraph, Seller shall not be liable for or obligated in any manner to pay any losses, damages, claims or
demands arising out of the work and services performed by it under this agreement.
B. EQUIPMENT:
Seller warrants that the Equipment, insofar as it is of Seller's or Seller's subcontractor's manufacture, will be free from defects
in material and workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from date of initial use by Purchaser or a period of eighteen
(18) months from date when ready to ship by Seller, whichever expires earlier ("Warranty Period"). All Equipment
manufactured by Seller's equipment suppliers carries only the warranty given by the supplier, which warranty Seller, at its
option, will either assign or will make available to Purchaser without recourse to Seller. Seller's obligation under this warranty,
and Purchaser's exclusive remedy for the breach thereof, shall be limited to Seller's correction of any defect in material or
workmanship by, at Seller's option, (a) providing repair or replacement part(s) for Equipment F.C.A. Seller's factory, or (b)
repairing any defective part(s); provided, however, that Purchaser shall be responsible for providing Seller with free and safe
working access to said defective parts. In no event, however, is Seller's obligation to exceed the replacement cost of the

defective part(s) F.C.A. Seller's factory. Seller shall have the option of requiring the return of any defective part, transportation
charges prepaid, before recognizing any claim. This warranty shall not apply to any Equipment (1) which has suffered corrosion,
erosion or chemical deterioration for any reason, whether or not due to the action or inaction of Purchaser; (2) which has
been subjected by persons other than Seller to improper handling, erection, operation, maintenance, and repair, or to misuse,
negligence or accident; or (3) which has been altered by persons other than Seller in any manner so as, in Seller's judgment,
to affect its serviceability or proper operation.
The Performance Warranty (if any) shall be effective for a period of twelve (12) months after initial use by Purchaser or a
period of eighteen (18) months after ready to ship by Seller, whichever expires earlier ("Performance Warranty Period"). In
the event of successful completion of an operational test within the Performance Warranty Period to provide the warranted
performance, or in the event that no such operational test has been conducted within the Performance Warranty Period, then
the Performance Warranty shall be conclusively presumed to have been satisfactorily met and all responsibility therefore on
Seller's part shall cease. Substantial conformity with the Performance Warranty shall be deemed to fulfil Seller's obligations
hereunder. Should it be proven that the Equipment fails substantially to meet the Performance Warranty, the Seller shall
modify the Equipment so as to meet the Warranty, subject to the limitation of liability set forth in Article 18 of these General
Proposal Conditions. This shall represent the full extent of Seller's liability and Purchaser's exclusive remedy with respect to
the Performance Warranties.
Seller reserves the right to refuse to honour warranty claims for any equipment where payment has not been made in
accordance with the terms of the contract.
THE FOREGOING CONSTITUTES SELLER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY UNDER THESE WARRANTIES, AND PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE
REMEDIES FOR THE BREACH THEREOF. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY. The parties agree that such
remedies shall not be deemed to have failed of their essential purpose so long as Seller is willing to correct any non-conformity
in the manner and within the limits prescribed herein. If, for any reason, any or all of the exclusive remedies provided herein
were deemed by a court of law to have failed of their essential purpose or to otherwise be unavailing as limits on the
Purchaser's remedies for breach of any of the warranties contained herein, then it is the intent of the parties that Article 18
("Limitation of Liability") hereof nevertheless shall be accorded independent effect and would remain in full force as reflecting
the allocation of risk intended by the parties.
4. PAYMENTS:
If specified herein, Seller shall submit, requests for Progress Payments in proportion to the percentage of Seller's costs incurred to
date to anticipated total costs during performance of work at Seller’s facility under any contract which ensues from this Offer.

in Seller's account within thirty (30) days from the date of Seller's Request for Progress Payment. In addition, Seller shall submit
invoices for Equipment and/or Services which are shipped/performed. Purchaser shall effect payment of Seller's invoices for Partial
Deliveries in sufficient time for funds to be deposited in Seller's account within thirty (30) days from the date of Seller's invoice.
Notwithstanding the provisions of a contract between the Purchaser and other parties associated with this project, Purchaser shall
not withhold any funds due to Seller unless Seller's direct action or direct inaction has solely caused other parties to withhold funds
specifically arising directly out of Seller's actions or inactions. In such event, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing, and in sufficient
detail, of the cause for such withholding and allow Seller to correct said failure. In no event shall payment of retainage funds
exceed ninety (90) days from date of shipment.
Seller shall assess a late charge of 1-1/2% per month (19.56% per annum) for all payments exceeding thirty (30) days from the date
of invoice and reserves the right to assert a lien against Purchase/Owner if funds remain unpaid.

additional costs, to include, reasonable profit resulting from this work stoppage as well as an extension of the required delivery
date. Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred to date in accordance with Article 10 – Cancellation if Purchaser
fails to correct the breach within the stated time. In the event of a breach of the contract by Purchaser, and in addition to any
other remedies available to Seller, Purchaser hereby agrees to pay, to the fullest extent permitted by law all costs and expenses
including attorneys’ fees which Seller may reasonably incur in any legal proceedings, formal or informal, to enforce the contract,
provided that Seller is the prevailing party in such proceedings.
6. SECURITY INTEREST:
At Seller's request, Purchaser shall (a) grant Seller a security interest in Equipment until Seller receives full cash payment therefor,
said security interest to be effected by Purchaser's execution of a security agreement covering Equipment on Seller's then current
security agreement form, and (b) perform all acts necessary to perfect and maintain such security interest in Seller, including the
execution of financing statements. Purchaser shall keep the Equipment free of all other liens and encumbrances, voluntary or
involuntary, until Seller receives full cash payment therefor.

or the non-performance, of any of Seller's obligations, or by loss of or damage to Equipment, when caused directly or indirectly by
acts of God, substantial changes in general economic conditions, acts of government or military authority, casualty, fire, riot, acts
of Purchaser, strikes or other labor difficulties, failure of shipping facilities, inability to obtain labor, supplies, fuel, material, parts,
energy, and transportation facilities, or any other cause beyond Seller's control. In any such event of Force Majeure, the schedule
for Seller's performance shall be extended for the period of time attributable to the delay, and Seller shall be entitled to an

Specification P94024
Specifications for One (1) BW 50-Ton Drop Table
with One (1) Service Top, One (1) Traction Motor Dolly and one
Bascule Release Top
Description:
The Whiting Drop Table system consist of one 50 imperial (45 metric) Ton Drop
table, one Service Top, one Traction Motor Dolly, four Locking bar pockets, one
Bascule Top system and the required Electrical controls, to remove a traction
motor from a locomotive and traverse it, in an open pit, to a release area for
exchange.
The Service Top will allow Operators easy access to the rail vehicle traction
motors or wheelset for disconnecting them from their trucks (bogies). The
Service Top is equipped with manually operated levers (one on each side of the
Service Top) for locking and unlocking the Service Top, as required, to allow rail
traffic to pass over. The Service Top is only unlocked when the Drop Table is
underneath it. A supplied sensor will acknowledge if the Service Top is locked or
not locked. This sensor will be connected to a light providing a RED light for
unlocked and GREEN for locked. The Light can be located where best required
by the customer.
The Traction Motor dolly and wheel chocks will be supplied on the Service Top.
The Dolly can be rolled into the best position on the Service Top, allowing its 20
imperial (18 metric) Ton hydraulic ram to assist in the removable and support of
the traction motor. The supplied wheel chocks will allow the Operator to lock the
position of the traction motor wheels on the Service Top tracks to prevent the
motor from moving when being removed.
The Operator will have a hand held pendant control with 35 feet of cable from the
pedestal control panel. This will allow the Operator to bring the control with them
onto the Service Top to assist in the movement of the Service Top (by raising
and lowering the drop table) for disconnecting the traction motor.
Once the Drop Table raises the Service Top above rail level, the Operator is to
support the weight of the rail vehicle through spacer blocks (that they supply) that
can be placed on the steel support plates that are part of our embedded locking
bar pockets.
The Operators shall not be on the Service Top when it is being fully lowered into
the pit, nor when it traverses to the Release track.
At the Release Track, the Operator will raise the Drop table and service top up to
shop floor level. As the Service top is raised, it will mechanically open the
Bascule doors.
The Operators should then use an overhead crane to remove the traction motor
from the Service Top. The replacement traction motor can be placed in the same
wheel chocked position on the Service Top.
The Operator can then operate the Drop table to lower the Service Top and
traverse it back to the Service Track and raise it back up to the track level where
they can reconnect the traction motor to the rail vehicle.

The Master control panel can be located where it best suits the facility layout.
The Pedestal control panel with the hand held pendant is usually located near
the Service Track.

KEY FEATURES OF THE

WHITING DROP TABLE SYSTEM
Buttress Thread:
The load screws used in each Whiting drop table, is a machined buttress thread.
It is superior to mass produced rolled ACME threads. The buttress thread,
although more expensive to manufacture, offers greater safety in lifting and
lowering operations. (No other manufacturer of drop tables uses costly buttress
threads.) The buttress thread allows for exceptionally high stresses along the
thread axis in one direction. The contacting flank of the thread, which takes the
thrust, is so nearly perpendicular to the thread axis that the radial component of
the thrust is reduced to a minimum. (Buttress threads are commonly used on
breech mechanisms of large guns and airplane propeller hubs due to this
feature.) The buttress thread has an inherent self locking feature which makes
them ideal for lifting equipment applications.
Thread in Compression:
The Whiting drop table design has their “load screw in compression”. Our “in-
compression” design eliminates the possible breakage in shear when the drop
table is under load. This also eliminates the need for additional features such as
secondary safety nuts and interlocking arrangements to shut down the drop table
for a screw failure. The worst case failure scenario of a “screw in compression”
design is general wear of the threads. This is why simple lubrication and regular
maintenance inspection of our equipment is more valuable than built-in
redundant features and options that attempt to deal with catastrophic failures.
Self-Locking:
Whiting’s drop tables are Self-Locking in case of power failure.
Synchronization:
Whiting’s drop table is designed with a single “hoist duty” motor driving all four
screws in synchronization. This eliminates the need for expensive equipment to
continuously monitor any variation in turning speed and lifting height variations.
Whiting also uses a two left hand screws and two right hand screw design to
reduce oscillation and vibration.
Service Tops:
Whiting’s Service Tops are designed to suit the customer facility while stilling
being ergonomically friendly. Widths, depths and lengths can be design to fit
existing or new installations.
Electrical Controls:
All electrical components are UL / CSA approved.
Motors:
Whiting jack motors are not an “off the shelf” item. They are specified as a heavy
duty Class B hoist motors. This ensures dependable and long term usage of the
equipment.
Controls:
Drop table is controlled wired a hand held pendant. This allows freedom for the
Operator to move around the Service Top and Drop table pit as required.
Locking Bar Pockets:

Whiting’s locking bar pockets are equipped with a large steel surface area for the
customer’ s jacking supports of their locomotive.
Simple Operation:
Customers are able to easily start using our drop tables with instructions
contained in the manual.
Dependable heavy duty experience:

Whiting has over 120 years of heavy duty lifting experience, designed into each
one of our drop tables, for the reliable changing of trucks, traction motors and
wheelsets.
Whiting has built over 800 Drop tables with installations

around the world
