It must be electric/battery operated with a charger compatible with 120/220 volt outlets, and designed for use in hangars and outdoors in various weather conditions. Key safety features include an emergency stop switch, neutral braking, a safety strobe, a safety horn, and a battery shut-off switch. Operational requirements specify adjustable speed control, a battery level indicator, a creeper switch for precise movements, and anti-skid tire chain accommodation. Crucially, the equipment must not emit electrical signals to ensure safety around hazardous chemicals.
