As part of the National Museum of the Royal Navy's conservation project of HMS Victory there will be a significant increase in the requirement to handle large quantities of a variety of materials in the Historic Ships Workshops at the NMRN's Portsmouth site.

The NMRN intend to obtain a forklift that is able to move palletised loads, timber baulks and free-standing objects on and off the racking and between all 3 bays.

For example the baulks of stored timber are stored on 2 aisles of cantilever racking. Aisle width 3.3m, top level of racking 7.5m and roof truss height 8.9m. Similarly accessing the rigging store and large objects from the museum collection on a mix of cantilever and standard racking both free-standing and palletised. The top level of racking is 5.5m and roof truss height 8.9m. With the maximum weight of the items specified up above reaching approximately 3,000kg.
