autonumlgl SCOPE

This appendix establishes the minimum performance, design, fabrication, installation, and test requirements for a rider-reach truck at the Ohio ANGB Toledo. The work shall be completed in accordance with this appendix, the Cover Purchase Description (PD), and Air Force Figure 4. This appendix is intended to cover all equipment, materials, and labor necessary to complete the installation of the system.

autonumlgl APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

Applicable documents shall be in accordance with Section 2 of the Cover PD.

autonumlgl REQUIREMENTS autonumlgl System description The rider-reach truck system should be installed according to Figure 4 and interface with the new pallet rack (Appendix B). The truck system shall consist of the following components:

a. One truck

b. One battery

c. One battery charger

d. Conduit, wiring, mechanical fasteners and all other items required to install an operational system.

autonumlgl characteristics autonumlgl Capacity

The truck, with a 24-inch load center, shall have a capacity of 3,000 pounds to a lift height of 13 feet.

NOTE: CHOOSE THE REQUIRED CAPACITY. RECOMMEND 3,000 POUNDS IF NO GREATER IS REQUIRED AS THE COST IS LESSER FOR MANY REASONS. THE MAXIMUM LIFT HEIGHT IS 365 INCHES FOR 3,000-POUND CAPACITY FORKLIFT, A MAXIMUM LIFT OF 325 INCHES IS POSSIBLE FOR FORKLIFTS WITH 4,000-POUND CAPACITY.

IF YOU SPECIFY A DIFFERENT CAPACITY, YOU MUST CHANGE ALL REFERENCES TO 3,000-POUND CAPACITY THROUGHOUT THIS APPENDIX.

IN ADDITION, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER A 36 VOLT SYSTEM FOR GREATER CAPACITIES. YOU MUST MODIFY THIS APPENDIX ACCORDINGLY. ALSO... LIFT AND TRAVEL SPEEDS WILL INCREASE DUE TO ADDED POWER. YOU NEED NOT CHANGE THE SPECIFICATIONS UNLESS YOU FEEL NECESSARY AS THE MINIMUMS ARE ADEQUATE FOR MOST APPLICATIONS.

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING IS THE HIGHEST YOU WANT THE LIFT TO GO. CONSIDER OBSTRUCTIONS AND CONSIDER IF YOU WILL NEED A LIFT LIMIT SWITCH. A GOOD NUMBER TO SPECIFY IS 200 INCHES WHICH WILL PERMIT MOST MANUFACTURES TO OFFER THEIR STANDARD LIFT WITH NO MAST MODIFICATIONS - OTHER THAN A LIFT LIMIT SWITCH IF NEEDED.

autonumlgl Rate of travel The truck shall operate at continuously variable speeds in both the forward and reverse directions. It shall have a nominal travel speed of 5 to 6 miles-per-hour (mph).

autonumlgl Plugging

The truck shall be capable of "plugging", whereby the operator can slow or stop the truck by reverse movement of the speed control.

autonumlgl Lifting/Lowering There shall be no pulsating or jerky movement of the fork carriage when being raised or lowered at any speed. The hydraulic control system shall be damped, metered, or automatically regulated to reduce shock and prevent instability of the truck when the maximum capacity load is raised or lowered at maximum speed and then stopped suddenly.

autonumlgl Steering

Power steering shall be provided. Steering shall be accomplished by a hand operated steering crank or a round steering wheel equipped with a steering knob for convenient operation.

autonumlgl Reach mechanism A pantograph type, hydraulic controlled reach mechanism shall be provided to extend the forks a minimum of 24 inches from the fully retracted position with a load of 3,000 pounds. In the fully extended position, the bend in the forks shall extend beyond the truck outriggers. The reach mechanism shall be capable of operating at all lifting heights with up to the rated capacity load.

autonumlgl Fork carriage

The fork carriage shall be equipped with a hydraulic controlled tilt mechanism, hydraulic controlled sideshift mechanism, and a load backrest. Tilt and sideshift mechanisms shall be designed to operate in all reach positions and at all lifting heights, with up to the rated capacity load.

autonumlgl Tilt mechanism A hydraulic controlled tilt mechanism shall be provided. The tilt mechanism shall be capable of a minimum 2 degree forward and 4 degree rearward tilt.

autonumlgl Sideshift mechanism A hydraulic controlled sideshift mechanism shall be provided. Sideshift mechanism shall be capable of positioning the fork carriage two inches to either the right or left of the center position. Total sideshift travel shall be 4 inches.

autonumlgl Load backrest

The fork carriage shall be equipped with a load backrest. Load backrest shall be fabricated of steel and shall be a minimum 36 inches high.

autonumlgl Fork tines

Forks shall be minimum 4 inches wide by 36 inches long, forged steel. Fork spacing shall be adjustable.

autonumlgl Wheels

Wheels shall clear the truck structure by at least 1/4-inch under all conditions of operation. All tires shall be non-marking, solid polyurethane or non-marking, solid rubber molded onto a steel band pressed onto flat-faced wheels.

autonumlgl Operator's compartment The flooring shall have a nonskid, low-fatigue surface. The operator's compartment and controls shall be arranged so that no part of the operator's body shall extend beyond the outside plane of the truck during normal operation.

autonumlgl Overhead guard

The operator's compartment shall be protected by a steel overhead guard which meets the requirements of ANSI B56.1A.

autonumlgl Deadman brake The operator shall depress the deadman pedal before any truck activity can be initiated. The brake pedal, when depressed to fully release the brake, shall be in a horizontal position and flush with the floor of the operator's platform.

autonumlgl Hour meter An electrically operated hour meter shall be provided to register cumulatively the duration of truck activity.

autonumlgl Battery discharge indicator

A battery discharge indicator shall be installed to sense an 80 percent discharge condition of the battery. The device shall inhibit lift capabilities when an 80 percent discharge condition exists.

autonumlgl Key switch

A key switch shall be provided to energize and deenergize the truck electrical circuits.

autonumlgl Horn

The truck shall be equipped with a push button electric horn.

autonumlgl Electrical characteristics autonumlgl Power source

The Contractor shall furnish and install all necessary wiring and equipment for power distribution to the battery charger from an existing electrical panel.

3.3.4. BATTERY SYSTEM

When a discharged battery must be charged, the truck shall be positioned adjacent to the battery charger and the charging cables attached to the battery. The battery and charging equipment shall be a minimum 24 volt system.

3.3.4.1. BatterY

The truck shall be supplied with a lead-acid battery, rated at a minimum of 24 volts. It shall have a minimum ampere hour capacity for a continuous full eight hours of operation without recharging or replacement.

3.3.4.2. Battery charger

One battery charger shall be furnished with the system, installed as shown on Figure 4. The charger shall supply a charge to the battery capable of powering the truck for eight hours of continuous operation. The charger shall reduce to a trickle charge once the battery is fully charged. The charger shall be equipped with automatic means to prevent overcharging of a partially or fully charged battery. The charger supply voltage will be 208 volt, 3 phase, 60 hertz.

3.3.4.3. Battery connectors

The truck shall be equipped with connectors to connect the battery to the truck circuit and to the battery charger. Connector halves shall be color coded, labeled or marked to clearly indicate polarity. Connector halves shall be constructed to permit only proper connection of polarities.

autonumlgl QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS

4.1. INSPECTIONS

The system shall be inspected to verify that it meets all the requirements of sections 1, 2, and 3 of this appendix and the Cover PD. These inspections shall be completed as part of the system checkout test and again as a part of the quality conformance test.

4.2. TESTS

The following tests shall be performed on the system as part of the system checkout test and again as a part of the quality conformance test.

No.

4.3 Certifications

The Contractor shall provide certification that the following requirements have been met. All certifications shall be provided in accordance with the Contract Data Requirements List.

No.
