Overview

FHT HMMWV Shelter Trailer

Gichner's S-788 FHT is a fifth-wheel variant, high mobility, tactical trailer equipped with a removable light weight multipurpose shelter.

The shelter is designed in accordance to military specification MIL-S-44408 and meets ASTM-PS-138 andASTM-E-2377 performance specifications. This shelter platform serves as the US Military's most widely used light weight multipurpose shelter (LMS) and can also be mounted on utility variants of the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV). The shelter is constructed of light weight aluminum bonded panels with Nomex honeycomb core or closed cell rigid foam core.

Gichner offers six variants of these LMS shelter types each weighing less than 650lbs and providing a minimum of 3,300lbs of payload capacity. The shelter is mounted to the trailer via four shock absorbing mounting provisions and can be removed by appropriate overhead sling.

The trailer is designed for high mobility applications suitable for missions required of HMMWVs. The trailer is constructed of a combination of aircraft grade aluminum and HSLA steel, equipped with an air-ride suspension, electronic micro-processing hydraulic breaking system, manual stabilizing/leveling jack, and fifth-wheel attachment suitable for transporting by HMMWV, militarized medium tactical vehicle, or commercial medium duty truck.
