(AVA) of Quincy, CA is capable of providing overhauled/remanufactured (?like new?), Lift Trucks and Ram Assemblies at a fraction of the cost of newly manufactured equipment. It is in the best interest of the Navy to purchase overhauled/remanufactured Weapons Loading Equipment at this time to exercise significant cost savings as the Navy considers future test and evaluations.
