US M911 C-HET with M747 HEAVY EQUIPMENT SEMI TRAILER - 1991

Description

Heavy Equipment Transport System (abbreviated as HET) is a term applied (primarily) to a U.S. Army logistics vehicle transport system, the primary purpose of which is to transport the M1 Abrams tank. It is also used to transport, deploy, and evacuate armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, armored bulldozers and other heavy vehicles and equipment of all types. The combination offered with that kit is the Oshkosh-built M911 tractor unit and M747 semi-trailer. Prior to 1993, the U.S. Army employed the Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter (C-HET), which consisted of either the M746 or the M911 truck tractor and the M747 semitrailer. (Scale : 1/35e)
