MSVS SMP Military-Grade: Efficient Performance Meets Military Readiness

The Mack Defense family of militarized rigid trucks and tractors is based on commercial vehicles which are adapted to the specific needs of armed forces. They can be suited for logistic missions and are able to be modified for tactical missions with improved off-road capacity and air transportability.

CHASSIS TESTING

Mack has plenty riding on our Cornerstone chassis. Components were tested for fatigue; the rails and crossmembers were stressed and relentlessly checked for endurance.

WHEEL CUTS

The best All Wheel Drive truck maneuverability ever from Mack. The Cornerstone chassis design allows increased wheel cuts for improved handling around the jobsite.

FRAME RAIL

The 300 mm constant frame rail height and high strength steel alloy in conjunction with a full length channel liner provide for optimal strength and payload capabilities. The frame system includes a full channel liner in each rail that runs front to rear within the Mack Defense M917A3 Heavy Dump Truck. This provides for optimal strength and payload capabilities.

CROSSMEMBERS

Developed by Mack design engineers and harshly tested by performance engineers – superior strength and stiffness is achieve through the use of eight crossmembers located along the frame rails where loads are imposed.

ENGINE MOUNTS/CAB ISOLATORS

New engine mounts and cab isolators reduce noise and vibration — decreasing driver fatigue and improving productivity.

APPLICATIONS

Offers military users the capability of transporting supplies on logistic and tactical missions. ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS COULD INCLUDE – RADAR, TROOP CARRIER, WRECKER, TANKER, HEAVY EQUIPMENT TRANSPORT,
AND OTHERS VEHICLES.
