We could hold any vehicle. When the M1A1 and the M88 Recovery vehicle all could over 100,000 pounds. The German Leopard was another hoss. We hung an M88 on the last trailer hooked up in reverse. We then had a driver to run partial stalls on the M88 when we were doing low range.
We were monitoring temperatures on the test vehicle so we didn't damage or overheat anything.
We were measuring fuel consumption and recording
pressures from a lot of pressure gages all at the same time. We had to make sure the M7 and 3 trailers were not overheating too. There were big grids on the M7 and the trailers to dissipate
the heat from that electric drive. We ran the D7
Cat tractor that was shown in the movie " The Green Beret" too. Very nice vehicle, it wasn't
same vehicle as in the movie. They had a D8 to move a tank in and out of the shop and it had its work cut out to handle those tanks. Hal
