Abstract:

This report is the result of recent emphasis on procuring commercial items in lieu of Military Adaptation of Commercial Items MACI. Because of this emphasis, the Armys MACI fleet of 1750, 4000-lb-capacity, pneumatic-tired, forklift trucks has been selected for eventual replacement by commercial forklift trucks. Commercial users of four makes of these forklift trucks were surveyed to collect data to help determine their acceptability in performing the anticipated military mission, and their durability, availability, and maintainability. This assessment was made using the results from the commercial users survey. This report presents the methodology, results, and conclusions of the assessment. The survey results support the general conclusion that the Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability RAM characteristics of the commercial forklifts surveyed are acceptable to their commercial users and by inference can be assumed to be acceptable to the Armys requirements.
