About this file
This is an Internal Air Transport Certification document issued by the Air Force Logistics Center (AFLCMC/EZFC) certifying the Hyster H40FT-AF 4K Forklift for military airlift operations. The certification, dated November 5, 2019, authorizes transport of the forklift on USAF C-130, C-17, and C-5 aircraft with specific conditions and limitations. The forklift has approximate dimensions of 104" L x 49" W x 88" H and a gross weight of 9,640 lbs; however, the maximum certified gross vehicle weight for air transport is 10,500 lbs with axle limits of 4,790 lbs front and 5,710 lbs rear.
Key operational requirements include: shippers must provide all shoring materials with minimum ½" thickness positioned under forklift tines to prevent metal-to-metal contact with aircraft flooring; all hazardous materials (fuel, batteries, etc.) must be separately certified per TM 38-250/AFMAN 24-204(I) through AFMC/A4RT; the forklift must be restrained to withstand 3G forward, 1.5G aft and lateral, and 2G up loads, with 4.5G down load capability for stored equipment; restraint may be applied to axles up to their rated limits but not exceeding 50% of total required restraint; four tie-down rings rated at 15,500 lbs each are available for restraint. The shipper must provide a copy of this certification to the Air Mobility Operations Center (ATOC) representative and the aircraft loadmaster prior to loading. Points of contact are Nathan Griesinger at nathan.griesinger.2@us.af.mil or ATTLA@us.af.mil, DSN 986-9904.
