Transporting HMMWVs: A Special Focus
High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) are a cornerstone of military surplus auctions. Designed for off-road performance, these vehicles are robust but require special handling during transport due to:
- Weight and Dimensions: HMMWVs typically weigh between 5,200 and 7,700 lbs, depending on configuration.
- Ground Clearance: Their high ground clearance necessitates specific loading equipment to prevent damage.
- Custom Modifications: Many auctioned HMMWVs include unique features like weapon mounts or armored components, adding complexity to the transport process.
Aerie Ventures excels in handling these specialized vehicles, ensuring they’re transported safely and securely to their destination.
