M-984A1 HEMTT Recovery Vehicle

Notes: This is a heavy wrecker vehicle based on the chassis of the M-977 HEMTT 10-ton truck. In this role, the HEMTT is outfitted with a main winch that has a capacity of 27.22 tons and 56.4 meters of cable. This winch automatically changes in speed in proportion to the load put on it, and the mechanism keeps the cable tightly and evenly wound. The main winch can be operated by remote control. On the front of the vehicle is another winch, usually used for self-recovery, which has a capacity of 9.07 tons with 56.4 meters of cable. The M-984A1 can tow a vehicle of up to 33 tons, or use its crane to lift up to 6.35 tons. A vehicle may be hooked up to the M-984A1 for towing in 3 minutes. The HEMTT in this role still has a large amount of usable cargo space. It normally carries welding and cutting gear, tow cables and bars, lengths of chain, and tools for working on all components of tracked and wheeled vehicles, as well as excavating tools.
