I had a pallet with a huge water tank on it, think almost 5000 gallons of water with a little pump and some hose. My 5 axle pls could load and unload the pallet no problem empty, could even unload full. Try to load it full and you're asking to break something. The tank took up at leat 15 feet of the pallet and I couldn't touch the top of it. Let's not forget it was all steel.Thanks everyone for the nice comments!
I have not had a chance to try it of course, but theoretically the crane should be able to lift the FSM (Fire Suppression Module) with a full contingent of water in it.
The empty FSM weights 3200 # and 1200 gallons of water weigh in at 9960# for a total of 13160 #.
The Ajax MHC has a capacity of 13200 # at a 9.5 foot radius.
So it is very close. I think if I don't fill the tank to the brim and make sure to grab the FSM, as close as feasible, over the right side of the FEMTT (the crane is offset to the passenger side by almost a foot), I think the FEMTT will be able to self-load the FSM with H2O.
Only time and an actual test will tell though......lol

Always better to know the libations before you need to IMHO.
