Caterpillar D7 Series

Recommended Posts

Wll, hate to ruin your day Mondkalb, but I found a bug.

When you add a few wrecks (empty -->wrecks)(close to each other), you can't move them at all.

I tried this near morton with the Island of Everon.

But nevertheless: keep it up!

It's something I can't influence. Those wrecks are static. Like Buildings.

Another WIP video? SURE AS HELL. But first the real work.

:yay:

Making things look dirty is the easiest part...

This thingie is nearly Alpha. In only one day.

If you have suggestions or - even better - technical details/knowledge of the All-Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS): Please contact me. There is nearly zero info about this vehicle on the Internet.

A working orange flashing light would be mega!

Is it so wrong that I'm already imagining atlas fights where the winner is the last one on his wheels?

I think I speak for many when I say: please make an up-armored version!

Something like this, with an improvised up-armored cab:

All Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS)

The All Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS) is a 10,000 lb. capacity, variable reach, rough terrain forklift. It has a top speed of 23 M.P.H. and cross country mobility equal to the 6,000 lb. capacity variable reach rough terrain forklift. The lift capacity of this machine is 4,000 lbs. at 21.5 feet; 6,000 lbs. at 13 feet; and 10,000 lbs. at 4 feet. It is intended to perform the same type of cargo handling operations as the present 10K capacity forklifts under SSN M488. The ATLAS replaces all NSNs currently listed under SSN M488 and will displace existing 10K rough terrain forklifts in newly fielded units that currently have the older machines.

The ATLAS is currently on contract from TRAK.

The new ATLAS II is a rough terrain forklift with a load capacity of 10,000 lb with a 48" load center with the primary mission to lift and load/unload pallets from ISO 20’ containers. The target price for the production contract is not to exceed $135,000 per vehicle (in FY03 dollars). The intent is to improve the vehicles capabilities as much as possible while maintaining the current program’s vehicle cost.

The All-Terrain Lifter, Army System (ATLAS II) is to receive and issue supplies, move stock to and from storage; load and unload ammunition, supplies, and equipment on unit vehicles for deployment; stuffing and unstuffing pallets from containers; transloading landing craft cargo between vehicles and aircraft; moving items into stock; and off-loading breakbulk cargo from vehicles and aircraft. The forklift truck (hereinafter called "truck" or "forklift") shall be a four-wheel drive, diesel-engine-driven, variable reach boom type truck (see ASME B56.6). The truck shall not be equipped with stabilizers or outriggers. The truck shall be rated at 6,000 pounds at 24-inch load center with the 6,000-pound capacity carriage mounted and shall be rated at 10,000 pounds at 48-inch load center with the 10,000-pound capacity carriage mounted.

The production contract will be a five-year, firm fixed price requirements type contract. The current program estimate includes $135M for approximately 1,000 vehicles. The production contract will require the contractor to deliver up to six vehicles in production configuration about seven months after the production contract award for the Production Verification Testing. The Government reserves the right to purchase the successful offeror’s Demonstration Test vehicle to perform additional testing after the award of the production contract and prior to delivery of the production configuration vehicles.

This program is based on the belief that industry has existing commercial vehicles, or vehicles capable of being modified, that can meet the requirements of this program. The Demonstration Test (in conjunction with the written proposal and evaluation) is a means of mitigating the risk to the Government in order to select the ATLAS II that has the highest probability of meeting all requirements as well as distinguishing differences between offerors providing vehicles that range in performance due to achieving required and desired objectives outlined in the ORD. The Demonstration Test vehicle, commercial component manuals, and the Demonstration Test vehicle support will be at no cost to the Government. The production contract will also include contract provisions providing for the transfer of the data package and rights to the government in the event that the original manufacturer goes out of business or drops the parts or vehicles from production.

Thanks a lot. Expect the ATLAS next weekend. :)

Over the past few days I have been doing very little changes to the model, as I'm currently lacking time. As you can clearly see on the below pictures, there's still a lot to do; although the the main chassis textures is already completely finished.

Yes to all.

Well... depends on the type of wreck you're trying to lift. Although I don't have a working version yet, I'm very confident you'll also be able to pick up pallets. (Not the BIS ones, their GEO-LOD forbids for the fork to actually go under the pallet.)

thats great news! but creat a pallet big enough for the D7, transporting it from point A to point B takes for ever, well unless u drive the civ version, i managed to reach 50km/h with it haha

I thought it was a joke but this could actually be very useful. All it needs is 2 spots for AI gunners, some mounted 25mm cannons and with some impenetrable front armor and I would use nothing else.

This is a good idea I had this idea a long time ago in OFP I actually Built a Caterpillar D9 Uparmored Dozer for OFP and put it ingame. it was little more then a tank with no turret, Im not good with coding things and its clear you have done a good Job. So I would like to offer you my model to put into amra 2 if possible? Its a lot bigger then yours is and might need rescaling a bit for arma 2. it will need some texture work of your interested in helping me with this send me an E-mail I used these screen shots to build the uparmored one.
