EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES
a. This semitrailer is a flatbed trailer supported by five rows of axles; each row consists of two axle units (bogies)
with inner and outer dual tires mounted to each bogie.
b. The semitrailer prime movers are the U.S. Army M911 and M1070 tractors; however, the adjustable gooseneck
enables the semitrailer to operate efficiently with the U.S. Marine Corps MK48/16, the HET M746, and the
German FAUN SLT 50-2.
