I Total Capital or Fixed Cost VI-13 The certification test equipment cost per lift for (Public-Use) manufacturer is estimated to be about $20K-$40K per manufacturer and the total industry cost for test equipment will be $120,000-$240,000 [(6 X $20K) to (6 X $40K)]. There will also be a one-time capital equipment cost [e.g., lift improvement hardware) for tooling of $5K-$l OK per lift manufactur :r (based on 2 lift designs) for the hardware items listed in Table VI-11 or $30,000-$60,000 [(6 3, $5K) to (6 X $10K)] for the industry. The lift manufacturers are considered low volume manufacturers making about 5-8 hand assembled lifts per day per manufacturer, on the averag.:. The tools for assembly to meet the new FMVSS are low-tech jigs and fixtures used for drilling holes. The total capital equipment cost for 6 lift manufacturers would be $150,000-$300,000 [($120K-$240K)+ ($30K-$60K)] for test equipment and tool/dies. Table VI-4 shows an approximate $5 cost amortized on a 10 year production cycle that is passed on to consumer in higher lift costs.
