NIGP 56072: Trucks, Lift, Hand Operated

NIGP 56072 Trucks, Lift, Hand Operated is an Item code covering portable mechanical lifting equipment purchased by state and local transit authorities and facilities management operations to service and maintain vehicle fleets. The code captures both the procurement of hand-operated and portable lifts themselves and, as evidenced by current solicitations, the preventative maintenance and repair services that keep this equipment operational. State and local buyers under this code include transit authorities operating bus fleets and maintenance divisions that require reliable access to portable lifting equipment for vehicle service work at multiple facilities.

The Charlotte Area Transit System Bus Operations Division posted RFP 26920262077 on June 5, 2026, soliciting preventative maintenance and repair services for approximately 32 portable vehicle lifts (Stertil Koni wired and wireless units) across two facilities in the Charlotte area, with proposals due July 8, 2026. The North Carolina transit authority's solicitation reflects the primary use case under this code: regional transit systems contracting for specialized technical services to maintain portable lift infrastructure at bus maintenance hubs. Recent activity under the code remains limited, with this Charlotte solicitation representing the identified current opportunity in the state and local market.
