Technical Feasibility Test of the High Mobility Trailer (HMT)

Abstract

The HMTs were payloaded to 2940 pounds gross vehicle weight (gvw) with a tongue weight of 250 pounds. The M998 HMMWVs were fitted with new rear cross-members and inner braces. The trailers were scheduled to traverse PTA level cross-country 2 (PTA-2) for 2000 miles at speeds not to exceed 20 miles per hour (mph) and PTA-3 for 1500 miles at speeds not to exceed 15 mph. The surge brakes were disassembled after every 500 miles of operation and the inner slide, housing and lunette carefully checked for damage. The HMMWVs cross-member and inner braces were checked as well.
