Picture request - Two 802a s on a Schutt LTT-HC trailer

I picked up a Schutt LTT-HC trailer with an 803a on it. Looking at the bolt patterns and dimensions, it appears two 802 s will mount facing side-to-side, but I can't find any pictures of this config online. (Just MEP-1030s)

Anyone have a photo of this setup?

Hi Digger, I've done that with 2 802's on that trailer before, but not side by side. I mounted the forward one sideways and the 2nd gets mounted front to back all the way rearward with the control panel obviously to the rear. It fits, but access to the left side door in the front gen and the fuel filler on the rear gen are a bit limited.
I also have one here with 2 803's both mounted sideways, but the trailer is different, it has an additional removable platform that sits above the wheel wells and has a fuel tank built into it.

To help with that problem, in 2005 or so, I asked for permission to replace the hinge pins of the doors that got in the way. We ground the bottom of the hinge pin off and used a quick Disconnect pit to replace it. Worked great, and several units going down Range followed suit. Just open the door, pull the two pins and lay the door off to the side. Of course we had to disconnect the door stops. But that was a no big thing.

That's a cool setup. Is there a Mxxxx designation for that setup? I thought I could do something similar by building a 7-8" tall fuel tank riser, but didn't have a burning need right now.

In the picture above you would spin that gen around and slide it backwards more, remove the front tool box and put the other 802 sideways all the way forward.

Yes, very similar. Does yours have a fuel tank in the upper platform? I think mine may be slightly longer, I think it is the same size as the trailer itself. Yours looks to be slightly shorter than the trailer and maybe a little tight to put 2 gens side by side.

Yes it has the fuel tank. It is meant to house and 803a and has a bracket on the side for an mep 531a. Drone support trailer. The whole platform lifts off. Thats a 1040 just setting on there not bolted down

I don't know what the MXXX is, or even if it exists. Silver Eagle made a number of them, which I've seen under dual MEP-803As (NSN 6115-01-588-8423), and also as a support trailer for a 15kW "power pack for unmanned aerial systems", A1-43315D, NSN 2330013875424.
