Cargo Highline Dock at

Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath

Rev. 2, 1 Sep 2026

1.0 INTRODUCTION & MISSION OBJECTIVE

1.1 Mission:

The 48th Logistics Readiness Squadron (48 LRS) Air Transportation Function (ATF) and the 48th Munitions Squadron (48 MUNS) require heavy-duty rollerized Cargo Highline Docks at RAF Lakenheath. The CLIN001 will provide a single system, three lane high-throughput cargo staging, assembly, and loading capabilities high line dock to support 48th Fighter Wing (48 FW) deployments across two Combatant Commands. CLIN002 provides an option for 48 MUNS for a one lane high line dock system, similar to CLIN001 with an off-apron, relocatable staging platform to safely build, disassemble, and transfer munitions pallet trains. CLIN002 will be a modular variant as described in the product specifications below.

1.2 Background:

Currently, RAF Lakenheath Building 1280 operates with only one functional highline dock and one legacy dock that is structurally obsolete and inoperable. Additionally at 48 Munitions, air freight staging is constrained, forcing ground-level pallet builds on wooden dunnage and multi-step forklift transfers.

Procuring 2 modern, multi-lane, rollerized highline systems expands staging capacity, enables direct pallet train assembly (T-2, T-3, T-4 configurations), and permits seamless mechanical interface with standard Air Mobility Command (AMC) K-Loaders (Halvorsen 25K and Tunner 60K).

1.3 Acquisition Scope & CLIN Structure:

• CLIN 001 (Base Requirement – 48 LRS): Procure, deliver, dismantle legacy dock, install, and certify ONE (1) Permanent, Three-Lane Integrated Highline Cargo Dock System (18 total 463L pallet positions).

• CLIN 002 (Option Requirement - 48 MUNS): Procure, deliver, assemble, and certify ONE (1) Modular, Relocatable Single-Lane Highline Cargo Dock System (6 total 463L pallet positions) configured for independent relocation via 10K standard military forklifts.
