OSHKOSH, Wis. (September 19, 2016) — Oshkosh Defense, LLC, an Oshkosh Corporation (NYSE: OSK) company, announces the U.S. Marine Corps has approved the fielding of the newly modernized Extendable Boom Forklift (EBFL-M) fleet. Oshkosh will begin delivering EBFL-M vehicles to the initial fielding locations later this month. Oshkosh is scheduled to deliver 535 vehicles by late 2017 to both the Marine Corps and Navy

The updated EBFL-M vehicle is equipped with several new ‘plug-and-play’ features that increase loading efficiencies and operator safety during missions downrange. Modernization upgrades include forklift options to handle 7,000 and 11,000 lb. payloads with smaller attachments and a relocated hydraulic manifold to more efficiently load and unload aircraft including with the new CH-53K helicopter.

The newly designed two piece EBFL-M cab features an armored upper cab option for greater operator protection and an armored lower compartment that houses the vehicles’ systems. The removable upper cab can be easily replaced in the field with an armored cab without disconnecting any vehicle systems. Under the current contract, Oshkosh will supply 100 armored vehicle cabs.
