Indian Army Procurement of Mechanical Lifting Equipment: RATCHET, CHAIN PULLEY, HYDRAULIC JACK 50 TON 2026

Tender Overview

The procurement is led by the Indian Army under the Department Of Military Affairs for a suite of heavy lifting components: RATCHET 100-500 LB, RATCHET 500MM, CHAIN PULLEY BLOCK 1 TON X 3 MTR, HYDRAULIC JACK 50 TON, and SOCKET 19MM. While exact quantities and the estimated value are not disclosed, the contract contemplates multiple items across a single tender with a 25% option clause for quantity variation and extended delivery windows. The scope favors suppliers with certified lifting equipment, clear OEM alignment, and the ability to deliver within extended timelines post-order. The unique aspect is the inclusion of an advance sample approval process and potential bulk-scale supply after approval. Location specifics are not stated publicly, but the tender is positioned for Indian defense procurement.

Key differentiator: option-based quantity adjustments at contract rates and a two-step sample approval workflow prior to bulk manufacturing.
