Operating in Heavy Seas: the Wiggins LCS Forklift

The WigginsW36-24LCS-89 SS3—a unique forklift designed for use in heavy seas aboard the Navy’s high-tech Littoral Combat Ship. These ships are U.S. Navy special vessels designed to operate in heavy seas and an environment where industry-normal forklifts could not function or even survive. Wiggins came to the rescue with innovative design and custom engineering. For more about Wiggins military lifts, click here. To read more about our custom engineering, click here.
