max tilt/slope/roll angles when driving for say M1079

[coachgeo]

curious not really for the driving stupid reasons; though that is good to know in back of ones mind, what the max roll/tilt/slope angles is for say an M1079.

This is mostly for reference in building a potential gimbal to keep a chiller compressor within 15 degrees of level . Just discovered recently the chiller I planed to use is sensitive to angles in some respects. If gimbal gets too complex and/or takes up too much space by the time you allow needed range of motion to keep level, then can use thermoelectric chiller which won't care about angles.. but they draw much more power than a compressor type and are not as efficient over ambient temps.... then again would be 1/3 of the size..... there is always trade offs.

curious what the max roll/tilt/slope angles is for say an M1079. Don't plan on finding out the hard way just curious for reference. Saw somewhere 40 degree down slope was max but get feeling the poster may have got mixed up with the trucks clearance angles at front and rear being same number of 40 degrees.

I’d be curious too

I have a bubble on my dash. I will go take a look and report back.

There is a video on YOUTUBE that shows the operation of an FMTV...I believe they show an M1079...on a side slope. They tell you the max grade and how to drive on such a slope.

The TM 9-2320-365-10 has the angles (and a lot of other good info including a comparison of models and a list of accessory kits on pages 1-10 to 1-30)
