I knew there had to be a bass boat version of the HEMMT. I would lok to show up at the local boat ramp with that!

As much as a PLS would be handy hauling my other green things, loosing the rear mounted crane makes it a deal breaker. Darn COOL trucks though, thanks for sharing!

How much weight can be hauled onto these HEMTT'S? Can you buy several empty flatbeds and store whatever you want on them and just swap them out depending on which application that you desire?

I would take the whole thing, the HEMTT and the BEB. I really need to win the lottery soon.

We had the chance to get some of those boats a while ago. Wish I could have gotten one.

IMO, the PLS is a cooler toy/tool than the crane. You can get a fuel body for it, a cargo pallet, a dump body...all of which I've seen for sale. That would be one bad mo-fo.

Who says you can't have both a PLS and a crane? Just get a M1074!

PLEASE...
It's not a HEMTT. Not a PLS either. Thanks for spelling it right, but it's not a HEMTT, it's an LHS. Note the complete lack of a crane. Easy to tell the tilters apart: 4 axles=LHS, 5 axles=PLS, and the word "please" has a 5 in it (hence the opening word of this post).

The LHS is built on the HEMTT chassis.. I had the first 4 LHS's the Army tested back in 1997. One was armored with no AC... I'll dig up pictures and post them when I find them.

LHS = Load Handling System.
The LHS and PLS share the same Multilift "grabber arm". The PLS can carry 16 tons, the LHS 11 tons.
The study I was involved with in the Army figured out that other than FA units hauling 155mm rounds, no one usually came close to maxing out the PLS's 16 tons of carrying ability. The LHS carrys the 11 tons, and that much closer to "real life" loads that were carried, freeing up PLS's for heavy hauling.
