Looks nice, want to weld me up one? :) I found some finally, and there all rated at 4000lbs or less. With the trailer I want the weight of it empty would push that I think. My RAM 2500 is a 4x4 on 315 tires so maybe I just need a really tall plate.
Any idea what the inner diameter of the 353's hitch is (2.5 or 3 maybe)? Also what is the desired receiver height? I can go measure the height currently to figure out which plate I will need. Thanks.
This is all great, thanks.
Pardon the ignorance but... How does it attach? I have never owned a military trailer or truck, and that "loop" for lack of another word, does not look to hook up to anything I have. Do I need some sort of adapter?
I found a 353 for a good price, what all is needed to make it towable by my 2500 RAM? I have a 5th wheel hookup, and a 15K hitch. I thought I read the 353 uses air brakes, something my RAM is not equipped to handle. Any solutions?
Good point. I was looking at the pics of my 002 and it looks like the fork lift holes are only aligned "long ways". Can it be picked up "width ways" as well to get it into the back of the truck? My second thought is how do I get it back out as I am without my military electric forklift :)
This is fantastic detail, thanks. I do not have plans to tow it consistently. The main times would be 1.) Getting it home (250 miles) and 2.) If a situation forced me to move it (emergency). Other than that it would be nice to be able to move it around the property (6 acres).
My primary vehicle...
Thanks, now to find one close by :) I like the idea of one that has the top to keep the elements out. I am without a great garage currently (6 acres and no barn, shame on me).
What trailer should I be looking for to go with a new to me MEP-002A? Also, do they make a shroud to cover the entire unit from the elements, if not I suppose a covered trailer would do the trick. Thanks.
