RE: Re: Garbee?? Actually, I don't think trailers double weight capacity on road.

Joel, if I'm not mistaken that's a 5 ton capacity trailer. Perhaps more. Maybe 7 or 10 tons.

Its not the sort of thing you back up. I did pretty well with the maiden voyage on the Deuce with the trailer not having to back up. It'll usually be pulling into places where we've got enough room to unload full sized rigs with tanks so, a bren carrier or something is easy. The advantage would...

If I understand right, that's an engineering trailer so it should handle some pretty heavy objects. I'd doubt if those fenders would have a problem with anything up to a few tons on them. Given how they're gusseted on both sides, I should think they'd do fine. Adding ramps, weld on some hinge...

Oh, now you want to sell one. Now that I've spent $2500 on my civilian trailer. pppbbt I'd like one of those. Really I would.

I guess the HEMMT's steering helps that what with 4 wheels up front for steering and a not so bad turning radius eh?

As long as the HEMMT is, I'd think the trailer would do fine no? Or was the length of the tongue a pain and made it easy to jackknife even the long HEMMT?

Yeah. You're right. I'd somehow managed to combine the PLS components onto the Mk48, probably the LVS description. :-/ Anyhow... Emmando, what did you guys hate about the M989 trailer? Too unweildy? Seems like it's just a BIG tag trailer that's pretty short. My tag trailer seems to work just...

Here's the web page on the MK48 PLS system. There's some very cool videos there for the Modular Fuel Farm and Engineering Modules that can be used with the truck system.

Ida, the vehicle in question is the MK 48. There's several varieties of rear units and the PLS System with host of attachments for the Palletized Load System. The Mk48 and the HEMTT are brothers as they're made by Oshkosh and share a lot of features. The Mk48 does bend in the middle. There's...

That's a trailer, not the rear unit on the Mk48 PLS. That's a 3 axle unit and it's larger wheels. The connection portion is different. Here's a Mk48 PLS http://community.webshots.com/album/34338907EbYZru/3 the M989 looks like a VERY beefy tag trailer with Air brakes. and the new HEMAT...

Here's a variation on the 5 ton flat beds with fold down sides for towing behind a truck. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=993801&convertTo=USD
