Vehicles in good condition can be driven onto the M1000. Personnel can load
disabled vehicles using a winch on the M1070 tractor. When loading steel-tracked
vehicles such as bulldozers, place 2- x 10-inch lumber under the tracks to prevent metal
to metal contact. Place and reposition the lumber as the vehicle is being driven or
winched onto the M1000 so steel grousers do not contact the deck. The M1000 deck can
be tilted to allow gravity to roll payload vehicles into their final position.
Figure 52 shows the M1000 carrying two M113s, which requires additional chains
and loadbinders. The M1000 BII chains and loadbinders should go on the rear fittings of
both M113s. To secure the front of each M113, use two 3/8-inch chain assemblies (NSN
4010-00-443-4845 or NSN 4010-00-803-8858) and two loadbinders (NSN 3990-01-213-
1746).
Figure 53 shows the shoring required for the M104 Wolverine Bridge and
Wolverine loaded on the M1000.
