Add To Comparison

PKTAK05024 Takom US Army M911/M747 Heavy Equipment Transporter US Army M911/M747 Heavy Equipment Transporter. M911 Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) is a military truck tractor used by the U.S. Army primarily for hauling heavy armoured vehicles, including tanks, self-propelled artillery, and engineering equipment. C-HET (Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter) is a designation used by the U.S. Army for a heavy-duty military truck tractor. The C-HET designation typically applies when commercially sourced vehicles are modified to meet military specifications, including reinforced frames, military-grade electrical systems, and armour options. Type M911 was introduced in the 1970s and served as a replacement for older tank transporters. It was later succeeded by the M1070 HET, which offered improved performance and higher payload capacity. Although phased out of frontline U.S. Army service, some M911s remain in use globally with allied nations and private operators for heavy haulage. Model M747 is a U.S. military 60-ton low-bed semi-trailer developed for use with the M911 C-HET (Commercial Heavy Equipment Transporter) tractor unit. Entering service in the late 1970s M747 was designed to transport heavy tracked vehicles such as tanks, bulldozers, and recovery vehicles across roads and moderate terrain. The gooseneck design distributes weight efficiently, while sixteen rear wheels provide stability and traction. Although later replaced by systems like the HET M1070 with M1000 trailer, the M747 remained in service through the Gulf War and has continued use in secondary roles. Its rugged construction and modular utility made it a backbone of armoured logistics transport for several decades. 1:72 scale plastic model kit from Takom, requires paint and glue.
