Characteristics that limit the availability to one source are a minimum drop height of 1 inch, a maximum item weight of 500 lbs, a maximum drop height of 72 inches, a cradle size of at least 30 inches by 40 inches, a maximum total machine height of 120 inches, 110 or 220 Volt power supply, and height adjustment controlled by a handheld controller.

The constraints cannot change due to the limited lab space for the machine and the need to meet MIL-STD-3069.
