Interesting how different the M989 is from the M989a1. Same rated capacity and load purpose, but M989a1 is set up wagon style with steering front wheels and the M989 has a rigid drawbar with the wheels centered under the load. I wonder what the deck height differences are?

Sounds like the same lot even. I was at Ft. Carson GL yesterday and they still had two unclaimed M989a1's as of 2 pm. They sure look like new unused trailers to me.

I have gone to the farm and picked up the manual, scanned a few pages that show how the davit is used to lift the tow bar and scanned the title page with the NSN. There is a section that shows a method of lifting and holding the bar with one of the included cargo straps by attaching the strap...

The lot we bid on ran from $1170 up plus buy fees and sales tax. We did not get the cheapest one by far, but it is like new and I don't think it was ever really put in service. All the "come's with" equipment was still wrapped in plastic and new tags. I have seen M101a2's go for more money in a...

Yes, that davit looks like what is depicted in the line drawing. The trailer is awesome, but not as awesome as the HEMTT. I just don't have the funds to plunge for a HEMTT yet no matter how awesome I think they are. My son and I are talking about trying to pick up another HEMAT while auction...

I think it would be the same davit, but I am a weak old man and I can lift the tow bar in place all by myself. That said, there is a loop welded to the tow bar in the right location that would allow a lift attachment. I am trying to remember the details of the davit description in the accessory...

It has an empty weight of 11,000 pounds. Payload is 22,000 pounds if properly distributed in the trailer. Air ride supension and drop side. Deck well width is 8 feet and the length is 14.6 feet.

No, it is just a line drawing in the manual. There is a pocket at the front platform of the trailer that is about 2" in diamater and the Davit fits in the pocket. It looks like a two piece mast with a twist lock to keep it together and then the bow over for the arm with the cable pulley. It is...

I discovered the M989a1 HEMAT has a Davit option when I was reading the nice new manual that was in the tool box. I don't think I have ever seen one floating around on surplus, but it would be nice to add to our trailer. Does any one have a clue as to a source for the military Davit? We also...
