biggest pintel trailer (aka pintle,pintail,pinal,pinto,etc)

[my new hobby]

I am trying to find out what the largest pintel hitch trailer is. I am wanting to be able to haul m900 series trucks on it but i dont want to buy a tractor. Thanks

On it or with it? Do you have a truck now?

Don't forget the weight of the trailer.

What do you need to move, how often, what terrian, do you have a CDL?

 

[my new hobby]

On it, recovery
No cdl.
I am wanting to use a duece to recover m900 series trucks. I can find civvy trailers for like $10k. But I was Wondering if/what the military had on that can be had cheaper.

No military trailers for that use. Nothing close to a civilian equipment trailer.

Your gonna need a CDL for this type of load (truck/trailer combo).

You do realize your talking about pulling approx 30000 to 32000lbs behind a Deuce?

And, the air compressor is not rated for that type of use.

This has about as close to a military equipment trailer as you will find . A deuce isn't rated to tow it empty and the trailer isn't rated to haul a 5 ton . Search is your friend Off-road flatbed trailer with singles

Mods may want to fix the spelling of the title of the thread. It is "pintle". This may make it easier for someone to retrieve this thread at a later date.

30,000 lbs, plus with a pintle! WOW. You know, there are some jobs that regardless how bad you want to do them cheaply you have to realize that there is no way to do so safely. This is a job for people with experience in moving not only heavy loads but heavy WHEELED loads that, if not secured properly, can become a 30,000 lb. run-a-way vehicle. That is why the experienced people that are qualified to do this work have CDL licenses. And the correct, and expensive, equipment.

There are a few trailers I'd look into:

M345 10-ton trailer
M989A1 HEMAT 11-ton trailer

They are NOT going to have a 15-ton rating you are looking for, but they are heavy enough to handle heavy stuff. For recovering 5-ton trucks, I'd recommend flat towing behind another 5-ton truck, or have a pro with a lowboy trailer and a semi truck. I don't see what you need being out there in terms of a pintle-hitch trailer.

With as many as are coming out of the Indy truck center lately you should be able to find one you can drive home if you preview .

Man I would not want to keep that thing in tires!!! I figure those fronts will last 5,000 miles if not doing any city driving. And you better have a healthy air brake system.
