SECTION 2
System Description
2-2
ENGINE
A 6.5 horsepower engine and hydraulic pump that is
mounted on the base of the MPT. The engine is
equipped with a handle for removal and storage after
the tank has been locked in the raised position. Quick
disconnects for the lines to the hydraulic pump are
located on the structure for storage of the hydraulic
hoses after the motor/pump package is removed.
PIN HANDLER
The Mega Pin Handler is a tool that allows a person to
install and remove all six (6) MPT hitch pins while
standing at ground level, eliminating the need for a
ladder and saving time in the process.
WATER DISCHARGE SYSTEM
The MPT’s water discharge system includes a 10 inch
diameter discharge pipe with a flow rate of
approximately 2,000 gal/min, a shut-off valve with
both a constant force wheel to ensure positive
closure, a weight and pulley system to secure the
chain while positioning the tanker beneath the
discharge pipe spout, and a canvas discharge sock for
the discharge pipe spout.
AXLE
The heavy-duty utility axle has a 20,000 lb. capacity
with an oil-lubricated bearing and auto slack
adjusters. It is the highest strength axle tube
generally available for utility vehicle axles. The
materials used allow for a stiffer and stronger axle
beam with no camber required.
The axle utilizes air braking. The backing plate of the
hydraulic brake mounts onto the piloted axle brake
flange, allowing the brakes to perform at their
optimum effectiveness.
