Tractor, Wheeled Warehouse, Gasoline, 4000-Pound-Drawbar-Pull, Pneumatic-Tire - Manufacturer Survey,

Abstract

This report is the result of emphasis on procuring commercial warehouse tractors 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 from the first two phases. Four manufacturers of warehouse tractors were visited by a Survey Team using a Manfacturer Survey Questionnaire (Technical Information Package (TIP)). Each Manufacturer proposed a model which should satisfy the item description used in conjunction with the TIP. Results from the survey include a candidate make and model list for commercial warehouse tractors. The results also support this general conclusion: Commercial warehouse tractors do not differ significantly from warehouse tractors previously procured by the Army using MACI specifications.
