Oshkosh Truck Corporation MK 15 Trailer Wrecker Recovery Rear Unit to a 5Ton?

I've never seen one of these in person. Thought if someone knew the ins and outs them maybe with a front pinical hitch and a pump on trailer or truck these things could be pretty sweet.

NO that is a big NO, they are WAY to heavy for anything except a MK48 fpu, maybe mount the bed on a m920, these units are made to recover mainly the MK48 combos., they are a production to use and EVERYTHING on them is heavy.

I have pulled my MK18 (self loader) with my 5-ton. Definitely knew it was back there.

I think member BBF has one. Might PM him for some thoughts.

I agree with Ron (did I say that). If I were going to attempt to mate them to anything it would be a M916 or M920. They weigh 28,000 pounds.

My thoughts are for it to be in trailer form.

We addressed this a week or so ago. There is NO way to make it a trailer safely. It was designed to be bolted to a FPU.
