CHAPTER 2
HIGHWAY TRANSPORT

TM 55-2320-272 -14-1

Section I. GENERAL
2-1. General
The trucks are highway transportable under their
own power. The trucks will need highway permits in
some areas of CONUS because they exceed the
areas’ legal width limits. AR 55-162 gives additional
guidance on permits in CONUS.
Dimensional and weight restrictions in foreign
countries are more restrictive then those in the
United States. Foreign highway authorities will
require permits for highway transport where vehicles exceed the legal limits. The transportation
movement officer (TMO) can provide further guidance for highway transport in foreign countries.
Permit requirements will vary depending on local
regulations and conditions, but in general the
shipper must:

a. Submit DD Form 1266 (Request for Special
Hauling Permit) to the installation transportation
officer (ITO) 2 weeks before the planned movement.
b. Be aware that travel may be restricted to
daylight hours on normal workdays.
c. Be prepared to use wide load signs, amber
lights, and escorts.
d. Determine if blanket permits are available.

2-2. Self-Delivery
The trucks move under their own power and do not
require special preparation.

2-3. Vehicle Recovery
Recover broken down or damaged trucks using the
M936, M936A1, or M936A2 wrecker.

CHAPTER 3
RAIL TRANSPORT GUIDANCE

TM 55-2320-272-14-1

Section I. GENERAL
3-1. General
Most of the trucks are rail transportable in CONUS, Canada, and Mexico without restriction. The
M934/M934A1/M1934A2 and M935/M935A1/
M935A2 expansible van trucks’ heights exceed the
Association of American Railroads (AAR) rail
clearance diagram. These trucks may require
special routing on rail lines in the United States,
Canada, and Mexico.
The M934/M934A1/M1934A2 and M935/M935A1/

M935A2 expansible van trucks, and M936/M936A1/
M936A2 wrecker trucks will require special routing
in foreign countries because of their nonreducible
height. The trucks must be cleared for rail transport on an individual basis with the rail authorities
of the host nation.
*NOTE*
Additional cargo may be transported with the
vehicles if approved by the activity offering
the equipment for transport.

Section Il. RAIL LOADING
3-2. Railcar Selection
The trucks are transportable on a variety of railcars. Table 3-1 presents characteristics of com-

monly available military and commercial railcars
with comments about transporting the trucks on
each railcar.

TM 55-2320-272-14-1

3-3. Vehicle Preparation
Truck preparations for rail transport include:
a. Securing all loose items.
b. Removing all trash and mud from the vehicle.
c. Checking for fluid leaks and repairing defects.
d. Inspecting the engine and brakes, and repairing any defects.
e. Inspecting tiedown provisions, and repairing
or replacing any defective or missing provisions or
shackles.
*NOTE*
Most of the trucks’ heights can be reduced by
removing bows, tarpaulin, and exhaust pipe
extensions. If necessary, remove these items
and stow them within the cargo or passenger
compartments.

3-4. Loading Procedures
Place the trucks onto the railcar with a crane of
adequate capacity, or drive them onto the railcar if
a suitable ramp or bridge is available. (See para 4-4
for lifting procedures. ) The trucks must face in the
same direction and be uniformly spaced along the
length of the flatcar to allow sufficient space for
securement at each end of the flatcar and between
the trucks.
Set the parking brakes.

Put transmissions in neutral, and wire them in
place,
**CAUTION**
Use railcar and ground guides when loading
or unloading the trucks.
**CAUTION**
Do not allow the trucks to exceed 3 miles per
hour (walking speed) during loading or unloading operations.

3-5. Blocking and Tiedown
Procedures
Rail tiedown of the trucks depends on the type of
railcar, materials available, the truck series, and
the trucks’ GVW at time of shipment, The type of
tiedown provisions on the trucks depends on the
truck series. The M939- and M939A1-series trucks
have two tiedown provisions (one set) while the
M939A2-series trucks have four tiedown provisions
that act as one set. Figure 3-1 shows the proper use
of the four front provisions on the M939A-series
trucks. Most often, the trucks will be transported
on cushion draft, chain-equipped railcars. Instructions for this tiedown pattern are given in figure 32 and table 3-2.
The shipping unit should reference MTMCTEA
Pamphlet 55-19 for additional guidelines on tying
down its trucks.

Table 3-2. Rail Tiedown Procedure

Item

Procedure

Chain Tiedowns
(4-1/2-inch chains with
a WLL of 13,250 pounds)

Install 1/2-inch chains at indicated locations symmetrically around
the truck with an angle from railcar deck to chain of about 45
degrees.

Note: When chain-equipped railcars are not available, the shipping unit must provide chains or wire rope for tiedown.

All trucks will require blocking when transported
on a wooden deck, standard draft gear railcar.
Construction and application instructions for chock
and side blocks are in MTMCTEA Pamphlet 55-19.

*NOTE*
If transporting cargo in the truck cargo
beds, it must be properly secured.

**CAUTION**
Blocking is required on wooden deck, standard
draft gear railcars, The shipping unit must
provide blocking materials.

CHAPTER 4
MARINE TRANSPORT
Section I.
4-1. General
The trucks are transportable by a variety of inland
waterway cargo carriers and lighters and by all
seagoing cargo vessels. Most marine vessels will have
lashing/tiedown materials. If shoring is required or
the vessel does not have tiedown materials, then the
shipping unit must provide these materials. The ship
must have suitable tiedown points such as D-rings or
chain lashing anchors.
When possible, the vehicle should receive the protection of below-deck stowage. In general, good stowage
of vehicles means having them placed fore and aft, as
close together as practical, with minimum spacing
between outer vehicles and the sweatboards. If not
shipped on the vehicle, the breakable parts, spare
parts, and OEM (on-equipment material) should be
protected and properly identified as to location or
disposition during shipment.
*NOTE*
The methods described in this chapter for
lifting and securing vehicles are the recom-

TM 55-2320-272-14-1

GENERAL
mended procedures. Other methods of handling and stowing may be used, provided they
will ensure safe delivery.

4-2. Safety
In addition to the safety precautions in paragraph
1-6 and the cautions, warnings, and notes in this
section, the following safety measures will apply for
marine transport.
a. The shipping unit will notify the marine
vessel if ammunition or explosives are to be transported with the trucks. Compliance with AR 55228, paragraph 2-7, is required.
b. The trucks and ammunition will be handled
and stowed in accordance with the Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 49, Transportation, subparts
176.76 and 176.905. The same regulations are also
contained in Water Carrier Tariff No. 32 or the
current issue of this tariff.
c. Fire extinguishers will be readily available
during ship loading and unloading.

Section II. SHIP LOADING
4-3. Vehicle Preparation
Truck preparations for marine transport include:
a. Securing all loose items.
b. Emptying fuel tank to one-fourth of its
capacity.
c. Removing all trash and mud from the trucks.
d.
Checking for fluid leaks and repairing
defects.
e. Inspecting engine and brakes, and repairing
any defects.
f. Inspecting tiedown provisions, and repairing
or replacing any defective or missing provisions or
shackles.

4-4. Loading Procedures
When appropriate (such as RORO vessels), the
trucks can be driven or towed onto the vessel.
When lifting the trucks, the crane being used must
be of adequate capacity. Ship and shore side cranes
are usually rated in long tons (LT), 2,240 pounds,
and/or metric tons (t), 1000 kilograms. Typical
lifting diagrams for the trucks are shown in figures
4-1,4-2, and 4-3.
Place the trucks in the position indicated on the
stow plan so that sufficient tiedown points are

available. Set the parking brake, and put the
transmission in neutral. Disconnect the battery.
***WARNING***
Prior to offering the M939- or M939A1-series
trucks for transport, check and replace, if
necessary, the rear spring pin used for lifting
these vehicles. The proper pin is NSN 5315-01206-2239.
***WARNING***
Do not use shackles on the M939- and M939A1series trucks’ front bumpers for lifting.
**CAUTION**
Ear protection (plugs) must be worn at all times
when working in RORO ship holds.

4-5. Tiedown Procedures
The preferred tiedown pattern is four chains, with a
35,000-pound capacity, crossed and at an angle of
thirty degrees for trucks weighing up to 50,000
pounds (fig 4-4). (The M939-, M939A1-, and M939A2series trucks do not exceed this 50,000-pound GVW
limit.) If the vessel is not equipped with lashing/
tiedown materials, the shipping unit must provide
them.

AIR TRANSPORT
Section I.

TM 55-2320-272-14-1

GENERAL

5-1. General

5-2. Safety

The trucks are all air transportable on C-5 and C17 aircraft. The M923/M923A1/M923A2 thru M932/
M932A1/M932A2 trucks are air transportable on C130 and C-141 aircraft. The M936/M936A1/M936A2
wrecker trucks are transportable on the C-130 and
C-141 aircraft using special procedures.

Besides the general safety notes in paragraph 1-6,
the following safety considerations and precautions
apply for air transport:
a. Personnel must not refuel or otherwise
service the trucks within 50 feet of the aircraft.
b. Personnel will wear ear protection (plugs) at
all times while working on the flightline.
c. Fire extinguishers will be readily available
during aircraft loading and unloading operations.
d. The vehicle maximum speed is 5 miles per
hour (mph) when within 25 feet of an aircraft. The
maximum speed on loading ramps or inside an
aircraft is 3 miles per hour (mph).
e. The fuel tank will be filled in accordance with
TM 38-250/AFR 71-4, Preparation of Hazardous
Materials for Military Air Shipment.

Variables such as weather, airfield characteristics,
and distance to destination affect total cargo loads
and operating ranges. AFP 76-2 provides general
guidance on total cargo loads and operating ranges.
For specific guidance, contact the nearest Air
Mobility Command (AMC) activity.
The shipping unit must ensure that the trucks are
properly prepared for air transport before reaching
the marshaling area. All trucks cargo must be
properly secured. The shipping unit will assist the
aircraft loadmaster/crew in loading and tying down
the trucks. It is the responsibility of the shipping
unit to provide shoring material.
The M925, M925A1, and M929 trucks are certified
for low-velocity airdrop (LVAD) from the C-130 and
C-141, and low-altitude parachute extraction
(LAPE) from the C-130. Procedures can be found in
FM 10-526.

5-3. Hazardous Material
The shipping unit must provide written notification
before shipping dangerous or hazardous materials
aboard military or Department of Defense (DOD)
contract aircraft. Specific instructions are in TM
38-250/AFR 71-4 or in CFR 49.

Section Il. TRANSPORT BY CARGO AIRCRAFT
5-4. USAF Cargo Aircraft

5-5. U.S. Army Aircraft

The trucks are all certified for transport on the C-5
and C-17 aircraft. The M923/M923A1/M923A2 thru
M932/M932A1/M932A2 trucks are certified for
airlift on the C-130 and C-141 aircraft. The M936/
M936A1/M936A2 wrecker trucks are certified for
transport on the C-130 and C-141 aircraft using
special procedures shown in paragraph 5.7.1.

The trucks exceed weight and dimensional limitations for internal transport on U.S. Army fixedwing and rotary-wing aircraft.

The maximum vehicle axle loads permitted on the
C-130 and C-141 aircraft floors limit the allowable
cargo payload on each of the vehicles. The maximum axle loads are 13,000 pounds for the C-130
and 20,000 pounds for the C-141. Axle loads between 6,000 and 13,000 pounds are limited to a
28.75-foot portion of the C-130, and axle loads
between 10,000 and 20,000 pounds are limited to
26.7-foot portion of the C-141.

While several of the cargo truck and truck tractor
versions are within the CH-47 helicopter external
air transport capacity, there is no requirement for
EAT. Therefore, Natick Research, Development
and Engineering Center (Natick) has not evaluated
nor certified the trucks for helicopter lift.
The U.S. Marine Corps is working with Natick to
evaluate and certify some of their trucks for EAT
by the Marine Corps CH-53. If certified, the trucks
will only be transportable at curb weight using a
modified/airlift bumper. For further information
contact Natick, SATNC-UAS, Natick, MA 01760.

5-1

TM 55-2320-272-14-1

5-6. Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF)
The trucks are not certified for transport on CRAF
aircraft. Commercial airlines evaluate transport on
CRAF aircraft on a case-by-case basis.

5-7. Vehicle Preparation
a. Secure all loose items.
b. Remove all trash and mud from the vehicle.
c. Check for fluid leaks and repair any defects.
d. Inspect the engine and brakes, and repair any
defects.
e. Inspect and replace any damaged or missing
tiedown shackles and provisions.
f. For C-130 and C-141 aircraft, remove canvas
top and exhaust stack, move spare tire, fold down
windshield, and fold in mirrors.

5.7.1

M936/M936A1/M936A2
Wrecker Truck Preparation

For transport on the C-130 and C-141 aircraft, the
height shall be reduced to 106.5 inches or less. This
will require that the tires be inflated to crosscountry tire pressures and may require removal of
the upper roller from the boom. Axle weights shall
be reduced to below 13,000 pounds for shipment on
the C-130 aircraft. In addition, the following
preparation must be accomplished prior to loading
the trucks on either the C-130 or C- 141 aircraft.
a. One of the following must be done:
(1). Modify the stabilizer bars; that is, shortened, such that the boom is supported and the
maximum height is still within the 106.5-inch limit.

5-2

(2). Remove the stabilizer bars and lower the
boom onto a block of wood shoring such that the
hydraulic lift cylinders are not bottomed out. This
will prevent damage to the hydraulic cylinders. The
maximum height shall be less than or equal to the
106.5-inch limit. The boom must be restrained to
meet the MIL-STD-1791 requirements of 3 g
forward, 1.5 g lateral, 1.5 g aft, 2 g up, and 4.5 g
down.
b. Remove the canvas top.
c. Remove the exhaust stack.
d. Remove the upper boom assembly roller (if
required).
e. Fold down the windshield.
*NOTE*
Preparation for transport on C-17 aircraft
could change as the aircraft comes into production.

5-8. Vehicle Loading
Vehicles with individual wheel loads in excess of
5,000 pounds may require shoring. For specific
guidance, contact the nearest AMC activity. The
shipping unit must provide shoring in accordance
with the applicable aircraft loading technical order.
The shipping unit will assist the aircraft
loadmaster/crew in loading and tying down the
trucks. The USAF will provide the tiedown
materials.
