Got this gem off GL at the SeaBee base in Gulfport for the Boy Scout Council I work for as we wrecked our enclosed trailer we used for general purposes.
This trailer was originally used for medical purposes by the Air force's SPEARR teams- Small Portable Expeditionary Aeromedical Rapid Response.
It is designed to fit a 463L airlift pallet and I think that is the reason it has the slanted side so two can be side to side in a large transport. Notice the cables on all 4 corners so it can be hoisted by helicopter. It also has massive tiedowns on the bottom off all corners rated at 20,000 lbs!
Each corner will also accept a jack like the one on the tongue so the trailer can be lifted off the wheels and leveled. This one only came with 2 instead of the 5 it supposed to have.
Not sure on what is supposed to be the prime mover as the trailer is 12v. Standard 12v oval sealed tail lights and the wiring is standard 7 pin flat rv connector. There is a socket at the front of the chassis and it had a long cord plugged in with 2 male rv connectors. It is equipped with electric brakes with a 12v battery in a small plastic box next to the rv plug. ( need the cover if anyone has one or knows where to get just the cover). I am speculating that is to be towed by a fmtv as that is the only truck I now that is 12v lighting and has a connector in the back? Does an fmtv have electric brake controller?
Standard 8 lug cucv/m101a2 wheel but different sized tire at LR265/R75/16 "E" Crazy high mounted spare goes on the front right corner. Looks like standard commercial electric brakes and axle/hubs. No parking brakes which I found unusual since it is a heavy trailer empty 2400lbs- much heavier than m101. Real long hd safety chains with nice latch hooks but too big for normal towing hook up. Tires looked like 95-98%. I don't think this trailer rolled any kind of mileage.
Front lockable tool box is supposed to hold a socket set and a 2inch ball coupler since the A frame has an adjustable set up and the coupler can be quick changed. Mine did not have one but some of the other ones at Gulfport had 2 inch couplers instead of Lunnette. Front A frame is bolted to the main frame with 4 bolts on each side. I am guessing the A frame can be removed for space purposes to airlift? Missing 2 bolts but I will fix that pronto.
This bad boy was last used as an armory and had 5 m12 rifle racks (one missing but clearly had been bolted in before). Nice bonus. We are going to see if it fits our .22 and shotguns at camp. If not, they will be listed on SS classifieds in the future.
Trailer is wired inside for 110 with an external plug on the back left side an internal gfi outlet. No lights inside but easily added as there is a junction box on each corner. Had a battery operated dome light. ( missing lens if anyone has one)
Some other ones I saw had hatch doors on either side. Some were even marked "emergency exit". Hope it was not a big dude
as I don't think he would fit......
Front had 2 Fuel/water can holders with horizontal and vertical straps. There was 2 straps over the tool box at an angle and could not figure what they were for? Still tied together and faded like they had never been used.
Notice how tan carc fades to yellowish sand color? Check out where the spare tire goes to see color fading.
This trailer is tall and wide. A frame is longer than normal. Check out pics next to m101a2 for reference. Tows nice. A little bumpy on bad surface. Will have to check out to see if it has shocks?
I have also attached a parts list from Mfg. I can not find a TM. If anyone can help me id the tm or nsn number I would be grateful. No nsn listed either on Gl description. Gl invoice listed it as a 3/4 m101. (not)
