1-14
Introduction (Cont)
1-13. LOAD HANDLING SYSTEM (LHS) (CONT).
·
Loading/unloading from uneven ground slopes of 5 degrees from the trucks lateral and
horizontal axis.
·
Loading/unloading to/from trailers or ramps in which the height is equal to or less than
the height from the ground to the bottom of the FR (while on the truck).
The LHS with CHU kit is capable of the following, with a flatrack (FR) or container loaded with 24,000 lb
(10 886 kg) nominal payload:
·
Loading/unloading the FR or container from the truck to 12 in. (30,5 cm) below ground
level and any intermediate level.
·
Loading/unloading from uneven ground, slopes of 5 degrees from the trucks lateral and
horizontal axis.
The LHS is capable of the following, with the FRS:
·
Loading/unloading the FRS from the truck to 12 in. (30.5 cm) below ground level and any
intermediate level.
·
Loading/unloading from uneven ground slopes of 5 degrees from the trucks lateral and
horizontal axis.
a. Flatrack Locking. The LHS is designed with automatic locking features that secure the FR for all
modes of transportation. The LHS can automatically guide, center, and secure a FR to the truck so that
even during rough trail operations, the FR remains safely secured.
b. LHS Overload. The LHS will not function when the payload exceeds 11 tons (9 979 kg) maximum.
A warning indicator (4), located in the cab in plain view of the driver, activates when a FR with a
payload of 11 tons (9 979 kg) is being loaded by the LHS while under the worst conditions.
c. Hydraulic System. Hydraulic filters are located to provide direct access and to allow removal
without damage to the truck. By-passes are furnished where necessary to protect filters during cold
temperature operation. All cylinder rods exposed during operation have a hard chromium plating.
d. Slave Hydraulics. Self-sealing, quick-disconnect hydraulic couplings and a hose with appropriate
connectors are provided so that one M1120 truck can readily hydraulically power the LHS of another
M1120 truck.
