About this file
This document is an Appendix D specification for a rider reach truck to be installed at Grissom Air Reserve Base (ARB) in Indiana, specifically in Building 209. The procurement calls for one primary rider reach truck with options for two additional trucks, with detailed technical requirements including a 3,000-pound load capacity, 24V power, standing operator configuration, 144-inch lift height, and continuous eight-hour battery operation. The specification mandates specific operational capabilities such as a 24-inch minimum reach distance, non-marking wheels, and ability to operate in 144-inch aisles.
The document outlines comprehensive requirements for the rider reach truck, including safety features like hour and battery charge indicators, red/amber flashing lights, horn, working spotlight, dead man brake, and overload protection. Charging requirements specify a compatible battery charger installed per Air Force Drawing VGR301-01, compatible with a 240-volt power source. The appendix also includes detailed quality assurance provisions with a five-step testing process to validate the truck's performance, including endurance testing, safety checks, overload testing, and charging capability verification. Training for the equipment must comply with ANSI B56.1 standards.

No. Description Result
1. The rider reach shall be tested for four hours as registered by the hour meter. It shall have a fully charged battery before testing begins. The rider reach shall be tested while carrying a maximum load and shall be driven down all aisles of the rack system. The rider reach fails the test if it is not capable of interfacing with each shelving position in the system.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
2. The operator shall attempt to activate the rider reach while not standing on the deadman brake. If the rider reach activates either vertically or horizontally the rider reach fails the test.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
3. The rider reach shall be loaded with a pallet load in excess of 3,300 pounds. An operator shall attempt to lift the load. If the rider reach can lift the load, and the overload valve does not open, then the rider reach fails the test.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
4. The rider reach shall be raised until the lift limit switch stops vertical travel. The operator shall attempt to move the rider reach in the horizontal direction. The operator shall use the override button to lift above the limit switch setting to full lift height. The rider reach fails the test if the limit switch does not stop the vertical travel or if the rider reach is able to move horizontally at or above the limit switch setting. The rider reach also fails the test if the operator is not able to override the limit switch and raise the rider reach to full lift height.
☐ Pass ☐ Fail
