Default Dimensions of a 1942 c15 (cab 13)
Hineveryone,
I may be avle to finally acquire a cmp, namely C15.
It has a small crane (jib?) in the back for lifting ammo crates.
I keep reading that a vehicle like that fits a standard garage.
Can anyone give me the exact metric measurements of a vehicle like that?
I have this fear that it is to high to fit through the door of my garage...
Thanks so much!

Markwin,

Thanks for your email. Here are the dimensions I found CMP 15-cwt dimensions: height to cab roof?.
I do not have the dimensions for a C15 at hand, but I do not think it is much lower so it will not fit under the standard garage door as found in many Dutch homes.

HTH,
Hanno

Default Know a HUP will not fit in standard garage
Hi

It is one of those things that you really need to measure twice and drive in once. Had to build a new garage bay when I got the HUP, then had to build a new shop to get the C60S with radio box which is 10'6" tall.

Liked the picture cabless and windscreen removed to clear door, yea it would hurt if you don't duck.

Cheers Phil

Is it a 4x2 or a 4x4, the 4x2 is serious lower, I can have a look at the height of the 4x2.

Default Height.....
.............in the AEDB records shows the 4x4 at 97 inches....... no mention of the 4x2

Doors on my barn had to be increased to 9 feet to allow 4x4 and HUP to enter safely.... a sea container of 8x8 will not fit a HUP with 10:50x16 tires.....

Cheers

Hoi, even in het Nederlands(heeft de rest van de wereld het ook een keer niet gemakkelijk) breedte, 2.20 mrt. hoogte zonder dakluik 2,10 met dakluik 2.17 mtr.

Net te hoog dus denk ik, of je moet de deuren iets hoger kunnen maken of met de auto naar beneden.

Groeten

Hendrik

Hoi,

nog laat wakker ook zie ik
Thanks voor het meten...nou dat is helemaal frustrerend, 7 centimeter te weinig...Er ligt een betonnen plaat in dus uitgraven is ook geen optie...
Maar ik denk toch dat ik het doe en dan een aapassing ga doorvoeren aan de deur...
Of misschien de banden aflaten? Ik heb een compressor!?

Sorry for our Dutch folks, just discussing measurements...
