Questions and Answers

1. I see the specification calls for must be able to lift 3500 lbs at 12ft extension.

Does extension refer to horizontal reach (i.e. 3,500 lbs. at 12' horizontal outreach)?

Or does extension refer to vertical reach (i.e. 3,500 lbs at 12' vertical lifting height)?

ANSWER: The requirement is 3500 lbs at a horizontal extension.

2. The specifications state that you want a base capacity of 8,000 lbs on page 49 of the solicitation however the dimensions listed below for size requirements of the machine are that of a 5,500 lb machine. Also a 5,500 lb capacity reach machine cannot have a full reach lift capability of 3,300 lbs.

When you reference the 3,500 lbs at 12' extension are you referring to lifting straight up or booming out for reach?
