- Description
- The US Army is surveying the marketplace to determine the availability of additional tire sources or tire/rim sources for the M1000 Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS) trailer. The M1000 is used to transport the M1 Series Main Battle Tank during operation. The M1000 contains ten axles each having four tires, for a total of 40 tires per trailer (plus 2 spares). Maximum trailer payload is 140,000 lbs. Tire load at maximum payload is up to 3850 lbs. Testing and qualification are planned to be conducted in accordance with Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2014 and ATPD 2130D specification and funded by the Government. The Government is conducting an analysis of alternatives using three different scenarios for additional sources, each with an increasing logistical impact. The first scenario is evaluating a tire in the same size as the M1000 as currently configured (215/75R17.5). The second scenario involves evaluating tire in a different size, but acceptable for use on the existing approved rim (Accuride p/n 28112 17.5X6.75HC). The third scenario involves evaluating tires and wheels in a different size. If responding to third scenario, please include both tire and wheel information. Information provided by vendors will be used by the Government for analysis and requirements development.
