Which device allows a lift truck to become a mobile hoist?

• A. 50K Loader
• B. MJ-1 Lift
• C. Side Loader
• D. Bomb Support Roller

Answer: (D)

Turning a lift truck into a mobile hoist relies on an attachment that directly provides a secure lifting interface for heavy loads and keeps them stabilized during movement. A Bomb Support Roller is designed to cradle ordnance and give a stable rolling/support platform that interfaces with the forklift’s forks, allowing the truck to lift, transport, and position bombs much like a hoist would. This combination of a secure load cradle and rolling support makes the forklift capable of performing vertical lift and controlled relocation of heavy munitions, effectively turning it into a mobile hoist.

The other devices either represent different types of general lifting equipment or configurations that don’t specifically provide the munition cradle and mobility integration needed for hoist-style handling. They don’t offer the same secure load interface and stability essential for safely lifting and moving bombs with a forklift, which is why they’re not the best fit for becoming a mobile hoist.
