OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
SCOPE
This manual is used for operation, operator maintenance, and troubleshooting of the
Palletized Load System Trailer (PLST) M1076 A1. The PLST M1076 A1 provides a simple
and effective way to load/unload a container from a vehicle to the trailer and back without
using a flatrack. This is done with the use of the cart that is located on the back of the trailer
and the Load Handling System (LHS) with either a Container Handling Unit (CHU) or
Enhanced Container Handling Unit (ECHU). The cart can be positioned in three different
configurations (container mode, flatrack mode, or stored on the bumper) depending on the
mission. Flatracks and Engineering Mission Modules (EMM) can also be loaded/unloaded
onto the PLST M1076 A1 using the Load Handling System (LHS).
