Mobile jettison rack

A mobile jettison rack, comprising:

• a base frame;
• a lift means coupled to the base frame for selectively elevating and mobilizing the base frame over a deck of a ship;
• a ramp means coupled to the base frame for receiving and supporting a container that is to be emergently jettisoned towards a jettison side of the mobile jettison rack over an outboard side of the ship;
• and
• an adjustment means coupled to the ramp means for selectively adjusting a total length of the ramp means.

A mobile jettison rack, comprising:

• a base frame;
• a plurality of lift jacks coupled to the base frame, wherein at least one lift jack of the plurality of lift jacks includes a swivel wheel that is configured to contact a deck of a ship to elevate and mobilize the base frame over the deck when the plurality of lift jacks are extended;
• a ramp coupled to the base frame, wherein the ramp includes:
• a fixed ramp portion that includes a first pair of parallel tracks inclined towards a jettison side of the mobile jettison rack, wherein the first pair of parallel tracks are configured to receive and support a cylindrical container that is to be emergently jettisoned towards the jettison side and over an outboard side of the ship;
• and
• an adjustable ramp portion coupled to the fixed ramp portion, wherein the adjustable ramp portion includes a second pair of parallel tracks inclined towards the jettison side at an incline angle, wherein the second pair of parallel tracks have a length that is selectively adjustable to adjust a total length of the ramp;
• and
• a pair of ramp support members, each having a first end coupled to the base frame and a second end coupled to a respective one of the second pair of parallel tracks, wherein the pair of ramp support members have a selectively adjustable length to adjust the incline angle of the second pair of parallel tracks.
