Oshkosh Defense in the USA has received a US$27.6 million order from the U.S. Army for 55 Medium Equipment Trailers.
The METs are designed and built by Dutch trailer manufacturer Broshuis in the Netherlands. Oshkosh said the MET “supports the Army’s modernisation efforts and meets evolving logistics and transport demands.”
MET is a six-axle drop deck trailer hauled by the Oshkosh Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHETS) M1300 tractor.
Heavy carry
It is used to transport combat vehicles weighing up to 60 tonnes. These include the Bradley armoured multi-purpose vehicle (AMPV), Paladin self-propelled howitzer, and field artillery ammunition support vehicles (FAASV).
The MET design meets European Highway Road Network Accessibility (RNA) requirements for payloads up to 45 tonnes, Oshkosh said. The trailer’s adjustable height hydraulic suspension helps it cope with 4 metre high overpasses and to ford water obstacles.
The trailers will be produced by June 2026.
