Description
The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is conducting market research for potential sources to purchase an Extendable Boom Forklift (EBFL). The EBFL is a rough terrain tele-handling forklift powered by a diesel engine and is used to transport and load/unload cargo up to 11,000 lb from Department of Defense (DOD) transportation assets and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers. The key requirements for the EBFL include:
• Loading and unloading a standard military pallet (40x48 inch) weighing up to 4,000 pounds into an International Organization for Standardization (ISO, 8x8x20 feet) container
• Loading and unloading a 463L pallet (88x108 inch) weighing up to 10,000 pounds into the rear of the CH53K aircraft
• Operating over uneven and rough terrain to include sand, snow, and mud
• Meeting the Performance Specification (PSPEC) requirements
The Marine Corps estimates the purchase of approximately 374 EBFLs.
