The All-Terrain, Articulated Lift System (ATLAS) is the next generation of rough-terrain, shooting boom, fork-lift trucks. ATLAS operational requirements call for a dash speed of 50 mph, 60 inches of seawater fording capability for Logistics-Over-the-Shore (LOTS) operations, 10,000 lbs lift capacity at 4 feet and 4,000 lbs lift capacity at 21.5 feet and enhanced operator controls. For ATLAS to reach the procurement phase, production and operating costs must be managed ...
This study was initiated to determine feasibility of developing 6K and 10K Rough Terrain Fork Lift Trucks with a 45 miles per hour road capability. This would allow the RTFLT's to be self deployable, thus eliminating the trailering and towing requirement. Computer simulation was used to analyze the 6K and 10K RTFLT's performance, ride, and handling and to determine the major component requirements. Component suppliers were then contacted to determine ...
