UTV Toolbox Summary of Requirements Three USAF purpose built toolboxes are required.

These toolboxes will be replacing the need to use Centralized Tool Kits (CTK) that are not sufficiently stocked with all the tools and features needed to perform aircraft maintenance. The purpose behind the build is to generate a CTK that is built for outdoor storage, conditions, and marine grade components that will last beyond a ten-year scope. Current CTKs are stored inside climate controlled conditions and lack USAF specialized tool requirements, compartments, and dimensions for true Flightline requirements. These CTKs will eliminate a dedicated Airmen to transport interior designed CTKs onto the flightline, saving time, increasing safety, and storing high-value tools in an improved storage condition.

These toolboxes must be built with longevity as a priority. Due to this, many requirements must be met. Klamath Falls has many very sunny days with high UV as well as many days with temperatures below freezing. Requirements such as material type, rain gutters ensure tools maintain integrity, plus stay in top-notch storage condition, and anti-sail shocks create a longer lasting product that is less corrosive due to weather and repeated use. Marine grade aluminum is the only known material that handles ultra-violet damage, heavy rain, snow, and elemental conditions experienced in Klamath Falls. Marine grade stainless steel handles, latches, guides, ensure the everyday use of the USAF Flightline Airmen is ready to use, will not deteriorate. Marine grade components and craftsmanship is second to none, that is why a lifetime warranty will need to go hand-in-hand with this purchase.

E-Track is required to adapt to the ever-changing maintenance environments. E-Track has become the new standard for versatility and adaptations with accessories. These boxes must maximize the E-Track landscape to stay relevant with industry tradesman and further lead the USAF maintainers into a modernization of their tool availability, practices, and standards for their career fields.
