MC4000 Auxiliary Mover.
Abstract
This report documents efforts to provide an improved local mobility for the M198 towed howitzer. The main efforts were directed to the design, fabrication and testing of the items deemed necessary to provide the MC4000 rough terrain forklift with the capability to perform as an auxiliary mover for the M198 towed howitzer. Other efforts consisted of investigations of alternative functions for the enhanced MC4000 within and outside the artillery community. The performance of the enhanced MC4000 exceeded expectations and predictions. The MC4000 exceeded its requirements as an auxiliary mover for the M198 and excelled in handling other towed artillery, towed equipment, and functions outside the artillary community.
