Forklift Trucks, Gasoline-Engine-Driven, 4000- to 6000-Pound-Capacity - Manufacturer Survey,

Abstract

This report results from recent emphasis on procurement of commercial items in lieu of Military Adaptation of Commercial Items (MACI). To satisfy the prerequisites for procuring/fielding commercial material-handling equipment, MERADCOM implemented a seven-phase program. This report presents the results of the first two phases. Four major manufacturers of forklift trucks were visited by a Survey Team using a Manufacturer Survey Questionnaire (Technical Information Package (TIP)). Each manufacturer proposed a model which should satisfy the three size requirements in the item descriptions used in conjunction with the TIP. Results from the survey include a candidate make and model list for the three size requirements. The results support this general conclusion: Commercial forklift trucks do not differ significantly from forklift trucks previously procured by the Army using MACI specifications. (Author)
