Amazing, MERDC cammo and composite lamps, Uncle was using that relic into the 1970's. Were you able to get it on the orange trailer with those narrow ramps?

Edit: looks like second set of pics answers that question: no. Surprised the V300 could handle it.

No 2 40 ton forklifts lifted it and we backed the orange trailer underneath it.

We are having lunch at a truck stop in Salt Lake City heading to Las Vegas back home soon.

Yes and no.

One of the 40-ton forklifts couldn't lift its share of the 42,600-lb M15A2, so a Case 580D loader as brought out to keep the forklift's rear end on the ground, as the lowboy trailer was backed underneath the M15A2.
