Among the most vital material handling systems in use today are those that handle weaponry for the armed forces. Case in point: In Cincinnati, Ohio, Federal Equipment Co. is manufacturing 11 state-of-the-art advanced weapons elevators for the latest U.S. aircraft carriers. Carrying up to 24,000 lb at speeds to 150 ft/min., the elevators vastly improve payload capacity over previously designed weapons handling systems. The next-generation Aircraft Carrier Gerald R. Ford, also known as CVN-78, is one new design for Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding and the U.S. Navy.
