CLOSING TIME FOR BIDS IS 27/11/2017 11:00 HOURS. DO NOT APPLY DIRECTLY TO THE BUYER.

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) carries out an
ambitious and challenging programme of science.
This is supported by a fleet of five aircraft, specially
adapted to operate in the extreme Antarctic climate
and two ships visiting Rothera annually during the
Antarctic.

BAS has a requirement to procure a new Wheeled
Loader to ensure that the snow clearing operations of
priority areas and assist in cargo logistics during ship
calls at Rothera can continue.

It is critical that specifications are met paying
particular attention to cargo logistics operation.
During cargo ship calls the Wheeled loader will be
operated on predominantly level ground with
occasional small pot holes on gravel hard standing.

Main purpose is to lift 20ft ISO containers with
machine fork attachment through container fork
pockets at container max weight 15000kg from ground
level to storage area 50m to 100m away from ship
and placed at ground level. Amount of containers to
be moved is approximately 20 units.
