Rapid mobilizers transport shelters and equipment containers to support military units
Ground mobilizers, or wheel sets, attach to front and rear ends of shelters and containers to quickly convert units into movable vehicles for high-speed highway travel, aircraft loading with limited vertical clearance, and off-road deployment wherever needed. When not in use, 2 wheel sets attach to one another to create 4-wheeled unit for trailering or storage. When needed, 2 ends are separated and maneuvered into position at both ends of shelter/container where locking twist pins, bolts, or other clamping devices secure wheel sets. Once attached, mobilizer uses individual onboard, hydraulic, push-button power units to pivot each wheel set and lift container off the ground without fork truck or other hoists. Self-contained, extendable, heavy-duty trailer wiring and brake hoses connect 2 axles, with waterproof junction boxes and links to towing vehicle for brake and lights operation. Stabilizer bars limit sway. Air-ride suspension protects sensitive equipment and supplies. Three configurations of all-terrain mobilizers with GVWRs of 15,600 to 30,000 lbs. are available.
