scope:

This CID describes a dolly set mobilizer that is capable of lifting, loading, and transporting an International Standard Organization (ISO) container or shelter with a payload of 7-1/2 U.S. tons (15,000 lbs.) and has an overload capacity of 10 U.S. tons (20,000 lbs.), to be carried for a limited amount of time. The mobilizer consists of a front-steerable dolly and a rear-trailer dolly with interconnecting brake lines and electrical harnesses that can be towed across all surfaces, including primary roads, secondary roads, and cross-country. Each dolly half is equipped with a dieselpowered, hydraulic lift system, which allows the mobilizer to act as a shelter- handling device for lifting, and truck or aircraft loading. The mobilizer can be towed by any tactical vehicle that can meet the appropriate towing capacity and connections of the mobilizer. The system is designed to be loaded onto a C-130, C-17, and C-5 aircraft using its own power and the aircraft winch.
