The M815 Bolster logging truck, with the M796 bolster trailer, was used to carry long loads like logs, poles, pipes, and bridge sections. The front of the load was secured to a rotating bolster on the truck and the rear of the load was secured to the trailer. The truck and trailer had a tubular boom ("reach") that connected them under the load.
There is also a 15-ton (30,000 lb (14,000 kg)) low bed trailer, the heaviest possible off-road. A 25-ton (50,000 lb (23,000 kg)) low-bed trailer can be towed on prepared surfaces. [40] [41] Unlike commercial trucks the fifth-wheel can also pivot side to side, making a more flexible connection to the trailer.
Tractor trucks were used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 lb (17,000 kg) with 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) on their fifth wheel. Semi-tractor/trailers have to stay on relatively flat ground, and are not rated for full off-road use. On improved roads they could tow up to 55,000 lb (25,000 kg) with 25,000 lb (11,000 kg) on their fifth wheel. [7] [14]
The M931 (M932 w/winch) was a semi-tractor used to tow semi-trailers up to 37,500 pounds (17,000 kg). A front-mounted winch was optional. Unlike commercial trucks the fifth-wheel could also pivot side to side, making a more flexible connection to the trailer. Even so, off-road performance was limited. [14]
The main difference between them is the different structure. The frame dump trailer has a large beam that runs along the bottom of the trailer to support it. The frameless dump trailer has no frame under the trailer but has ribs that go around the body for support and the top rail of the trailer serves as a suspension bridge for support.
