PALLETIZED LOAD SYSTEM (PLS) TRAILER
Specifically designed for operation with Palletized Load System (PLS) vehicles, the Oshkosh® Defense PLS trailer (PLST) offers military personnel the versatility, reliability, and performance needed to support transportation missions, even those in the most hazardous environments.
A three-axle trailer with the ability to carry an 8×20-foot flat rack with a 16.5-ton payload, it can accommodate both fully- and partially-loaded flat racks and be loaded directly from the PLS truck using the Load Handling System (LHS) – increasing mission efficiency while decreasing personnel fatigue.
PLS Trailer Features:
- Two position drawbar & inter-vehicular connecting cables
- Self-adjusting slack adjusters
- Parking & emergency brakes on all axles
