M135 CDN MRT Photographs

[Seatyger]

Does anyone have or know who has, photographs of the M135 MRT in use? Or even static photographs? I am also interested in hearing from anyone who used one.

And to be more of a nuisance, can anyone tell me the type of hydraulic pump that was used to operate the HIAB Crane?

Thanks in advance

James...Greetings:

Having instructed on many MLVW courses at a local CF base, some of our vehs had the HIAB crane as part of their ECC (Equipment Configuration Code).

Since we weren't allowed to teach the operation of the HIAB, I didn't pay much attention to the data plate information.

Next time I'm up at the base (Happy Hour ), I'll try and get said info for you.

Speaking of MRT, I have a few pics of a HUMMVEE MRT, used by CSOR, based out of our local base...bet you didn't kinow how many HUMMVEEs the CF had

I recall there were between 2 and 6 for something called STEW. I think XXX had a few as well.

Jim. Your in luck as I have a manual for the Hiab. I've scanned some of the pages for you including the pump.





Hope these help.

Thanks for the replies Folks! Much appreciated. In the manual Rob, does it show if the pump is attached to/driven by the PTO? Would you have any information or diagrams as to how it is attached and powered?

Again I want to say thanks and Merry Christmas to everyone.

Jim. There is no definite pics of the pump mounted on the truck. The pump is driven by the PTO drive on the transfer though, as per

Maybe this will make sense to you it's the pump mounting bracket.

Here's the hydraulic schematic with the pump shown directly below.
