Final report of the commercial technology exploitation evaluation of the Lift-A-Loft model MP25-15 Special elevating platform produced by Lift-A-Loft Corporation of Muncie Indiana. The evaluation was conducted by the 436 CES, Fire Protection Division, Dover AFB, Delaware between 14 Apr 1995 and 5 Jan 1996. This evaluation was part of a continuing program to explore commercial off the shelf technology for application to Air Force firefighting requirements. The Lift-A-Loft model MP25-15 is a battery powered hydraulically activated scissor lift platform that can be towed, using a pintle hook equipped vehicle, to an aircraft and positioned to provide access up to 25 feet 3 inches above ground level. When the platform, with two firefighters aboard, was raised above 18 feet, it began to sway from side to side 8 to 10 inches off center. The 436th Wing Safety Office terminated the evaluation for stability and safety concerns. Investigation for a safer reasonably priced vehicle will continue for flightline firefighting/rescue capability on large frame aircraft.
