Dear Half-Mast,
A buddy of mine ordered some fork extensions for his unit’s ATLAS,
ATLAS II and 6K variable reach rough-terrain (VRRT) forklift a while back.
But now he can’t remember where he got them.
Are the extensions available in the supply system?

Dear Half-Mast,
I need the NSN for the
fuel shutoff switch solenoid
on the 6K variable reach
rough-terrain (VRRT) forklift
equipped with the 165-hp
engine.
Item 114 in Fig 24 of TM
10-3930-660-24P (Aug
12) lists the solenoid for the
old 152-hp engine, but not for
the new 165-hp model engine.
Can you help us out?

with these

sergeant, fork
extensions are
not
available
in the supply
system. Extending
the forks can
result in an
unbalanced
load.
That’s why TACOM
LCMC specifically
does
not authorize
them for
these forklifts. the
forklift manufacturer,
JLG, also recommends
avoiding the
extensions.
So tell your buddy, and
anyone else who asks,
those extensions are
officially unauthorized!
you bet, sergeant! Order the
solenoid for the 165-hp engine
with NSN 5945-01-452-9300. Make
a note until the TM is updated.
if your 6K VRRT
Forklift has
the
new
165-hp
engine, you’ll
need the
right
parts
to keep it
up and running!
sorry to
bust your
bubble,
but I doubt
those
extensions
are
authorized.
