HEMTT fuelers are pretty

This seems like a good place to ask, what is the next truck bigger than a HEMTT that the US Army, or at least the National Guard, uses? I thought they only had FMTVs and HEMTTs and if they needed bigger they would have to hire a contractor, but no, I recently saw some bigass 3-axle trucks in "Iraq Tan" that kinda look like a commercial semitractor on steroids, hauling an equally-roided 3(4?)-axle low-bed trailer. What is?

The M1070 Heavy Equipment Tractor is used to transport tanks and heavy armored vehicles for long distance motor marches

engineering vehicles deserve love too

>>64024380
is there a version with only 3 axles? Also the trailer was definitely different

>>64023918 (OP)
Great thread.

The Navy and Marines use conventional cab tractors (pic related) but I'm not too familiar with them. Everything in the Army and Air Force aside from the HET is cab-over

Love how France make memorable acronyms.
This is the CARAPACE truck, beside the armor double entendre it's also the acronyme for:
Camion Ravitailleur Pétrolier de l’Avant à Capacité Étendue

Tatra 813, my beloved

>>64023918 (OP)
those pieces of shit are the backbone of the french army since the sixties and i was with some going on motocross tracks like it was nothing they're actually impressive

>>64026031
i snapped a pic of one once, you could see on the door the outline of "KFOR" in the camo paint

LVSR + M1076 trailer then, maybe?

>>64026070
Sweet!
Why can't we all just get along and play with the nice things.

>>64024368
M1070 (or M911) with the old M747 60-ton trailer?

>>64024390

>>64024368
Last guess, M870A0/1/2 medium trailer (seen here w/ LVS - not HEMTT - tractor)

Do we have a limit on length?

Guess the speed they were doing to be able to do this on flat ground.

Rumor has it PFC Chucklefuck is being smoked to this very day.

One of those things is wasting away in a wooded field nearby, if thread is still up tomorrow I'll grab some OC. For now, have a LeTourneau Tree Crusher (we sure they ain't orkz?)

I'm sure there are better sources but Calum made it a mission to visit that one.

Not a lot. Fluids up high so less than 30. I'm going to hazard a guess at 20mph.

How are Tatra trucks regarded?

>>64026359
Do american tankers not have baffles?

I love tatra

Given the experience of the war in Ukraine, I believe that special attention should be paid to engineering vehicles.

does this count?

I had to change the tire on a HEMTT once and it was genuinely the second or third worst thing I've ever had to do in the military. If that was my truck I'd straight up kill myself.

Oshkosh, easily. One of the most competent US defense contractors these days.
