So, I took my students on a field trip today to a "Construction Career Day", pretty neat event really. They got to speak to different companies about apprenticeships, run heavy equipment, etc. Went over to look at the army recruiter's setup. My how was I impressed. They had a vehicle called a "Palletized Load System" that was set up with a "pallet" for heavy equipment repair. Basically they were designed to haul rockets, ammunition, etc. to battle. This is the military's version of the common man's mobile service truck. Naturally I had to snap some cell phone pics to share with my GJ cohorts.
This thing is about the size of a roll-off dumpster, and goes on and off of the truck in the same manner.
The guy showing us the truck opened the drawers on the vidmar cabinets to reveal all Snapon, Williams, Proto, etc., tools in sizes up to 2 3/8". Welders, 36kw generator, 80 gallon compressor with some obscene cfm rating. Oxy-acetylene torches, compressed nitrogen, you name it.
Found this picture on OshKosh website to give you an idea of the truck this thing sits on.
