Hooklift Unit om FMTV or LMTV?

[tmotte]

Thanks for the add.

Any one ever put a hooklift unit on an FMTV or LMTV? If so, what is your experience?

Thanks

I have a hooklift on my m916a2.

A client of mine in Hawaii was going to have me install one on a 1078 that I picked up for him, then he found a 5t FMV with a factory mounted unit on GL IN Hawaii which he GRABBED fast, needless to say the 1078 project got dumped and the hook unit sold.

There's an army version, was known as the XLHS when I was in. I think it was an XM11xx truck. I have a picture of the data plate somewhere. was being used in ADA units.

No, that's an LHS on a HEMMT Platform. The XLHS was a LHS on a MTV platform.

See the left side of this photo from the THAAD unit on Ft. Bliss. it's an MTV with the CROPS for a container sticking out behind the LVAD cab.

The one my client found in Hawaii according to the pictures he sent, had ONLY the hook, no container upper hooks.

Looks like Ft. Bliss?

The container attachment is a separate component and was probably removed prior to disposal.

Yes, I've only seen them in THAAD units, although I THINK someone else has them.

CHUs are going to stay with the unit. They are worth their weight in gold, and will probably only be disposed of if they are damaged beyond repair.

Thought so. The second and third picture look like the Motor Pool where we kept the training equipment for Patriot, in the 80's. The chubby guy in the orange looks like a TACOM guy, now currently in Ansbach. On my next trip to Graf, I will cruse the Motor Pool line and see if I can spot any of these trucks. The lifting rig looks familiar. Might be able to see something.

I put one on a M1078. It worked but it was fairly high in the air.
