EQUIPMENT CHARACTERISTICS, CAPABILITIES, AND FEATURES - CONTINUED
M916
Capabilities of the M916 tractor are:
1. The M916 is capable of carrying a maximum load of 78,500 lb (35,607 kg) on its
fifth wheel, and has a towing capacity from its rear pintle of 50,000 lb
(22,680 kg). The M916 has a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)
of 56,000 lb (25,401 kg) and a Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) of
106,000 lb (48,081 kg).
2. The M916 can start and climb a 25 percent grade at GCWR in both forward and
reverse directions.
3. The M916 is capable of operating on side slopes up to 10 percent where adequate
traction is available.
4. The M916 is capable of operating in temperatures from -25 to 125° F
(-32 to 52° C) and can operate to -50° F (-46° C) with arctic engine and
personnel heater kits installed.
M917
The M917 dump truck body provides the capability of hauling and dumping, or
spreading heavy loads of hot asphalt, aggregate, dirt, and similar materials. The M917
vehicle chassis has off-road capabilities providing a variety of terrain in which the
dump truck can operate. The body contains a sealed hydraulic system for raising and
lowering the bed. The hydraulic system is powered by the vehicle chassis PTO unit.
The tailgate can be adjusted for dumping the load or for controlled spreading while the
vehicle is moving. For additional information, refer to TM 5-3805-274-13&P.
M918
The M918 is a bituminous distributor truck used for spraying liquid asphalt. The M918
can be operated on and off roads. The M918 consists of an E. D. Etnyre & Company
Bituminous Distributor, Model D 63 storage tank with a low pressure heating system,
hydraulic powered pumping unit, and an adjustable spray bar for distributing
bituminous material. For additional information, refer to TM 5-3895-371-10.
M919
The M919 Concrete-Mobile® mixer unit is a combination materials transporter and
concrete mixing plant. The mixer carries sufficient unmixed material to produce fresh
concrete in any quantity up to 8 cubic yards (6.12 cubic meters). The concrete is mixed
on-site and the unit has been precisely calibrated so mixes produced meet or exceed
American Concrete Institute and American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials standards for design strength. The unit can be used on an
intermittent or continuous basis. However, continuous operation is dependent on the
availability of raw material at the site. Some control settings for mix operations vary
from truck to truck and site to site. For additional information, refer to
TM 5-3895-372-10.
