Materials Handling Equipment - Ed
Abstract
This project supports engineering, manufacturing, and development of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) including the 5K Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklifts (LCRTF), Rough Terrain Container Handler (RTCH) equipment, All Terrain Lift Army System (ATLAS), and other cargo handling related items to enable Combat Service Support units to rapidly and efficiently move and deliver critical supplies worldwide to the Soldier. Efforts performed under this project include conducting market research, supporting operational requirements identification and validation, conducting trade studies, generating life cycle cost estimates, performing system engineering, developing performance specifications, conducting pre-production test and evaluation, and preparing program management and acquisition documents. The RTCH a critical enabler of Army logistics support equipment that performs port opening operations, logistics movement, and unloading and loading of containers that handle break-bulk cargo at seaports, railheads, and airports. The RTCH represents a key enabler during Joint Logistics Over the Shore Operations (JLOTS) and lifts, moves, and stacks 20- and 40-foot ISO freight containers. The ATLAS enables Terminal Services / Transfer Companies, Ammunition Companies, and Patriot Firing Battery Battalions with capabilities necessary to perform material handling functions up to 10,000lbs during beach, port, and air terminal operations; in material holding areas; and at marshalling yards. The ATLAS provides Commanders with multiple mission capabilities and reliable responsiveness to handle all supply classes supporting three levels of logistics - Strategic, Operational and Tactical.
