Section   III.   EQUIPMENT   DESCRIPTION 1-8.   General The 6K VRRTFL is used in support of ammunition and  quartermaster  units.  It  can  load  and  unload palletized  material  from  the  ground  or  from trailer-mounted   ISO/MILVAN   containers.   The 6,000-pound rated load (24-inch load center) is at a reach  of  up  to  15  feet.  At  the  maximum  reach  of 23.5 feet, the lift capacity is 4,000 pounds. This  forklift  has  a  special  lifting  tool  for  handling multiple launcher rocket system (MLRS) pods. The  operator  position  has  built-in  rollover  protec- tive structure (ROPS) and falling objects protective structure  (FOPS). The  6K  VRRTFL  has  a  six-cylinder,  turbocharged diesel  engine  rated  at  160  horsepower.  The  hy- draulically  powered  steering  is  operable  in  three modes:  two-wheel,  four-wheel,  and  crab.  Both  ax- les are full-time, all-wheel drive. The front axle is equipped with limited slip differential. More  information  is  available  in  the  6K  VRRTFL Operator’s  Manual,  TM  10-3930-660-10. 1-9.   Technical   Data The  following  forklift  characteristics  and  data apply  to  the  specific  model  with  NSN  3930-01- 158-0849.  Changes  in  the  model  or  NSN  may alter  the  data  and  guidance  as  presented  in  this manual.

A cost saving  is  obtainable  by  reducing  deck  space  or overall volume needed to transport an item. With most  forklift  trucks,  configuration  reduction  usu- ally involves removing the forklift tines and secur- ing them to the vehicle. Because of the amount of disassembly  required,  this  is  not  advisable  with the VRRTFL. 1-2
