Hi Gang,
in my quest for building the M1120 LHS, I came up with four (4) different flatracks/pallets. M1077 as comes with Italeri kit, M1 ISO Compatible Palletized Flatrack, M3 CROP and M3A1 CROP (Container Roll-in/Out Platform). I plan to use M3A1 on my build and wonder if "magic" Frenchy can provide information and even better pictures of the pallet. I already have the TM`s for M1077, M1 and M3. So any help is highly appreciated.

Here's the standard four-way pallet which is a "nine-post wood pallet that provides four-way entry for forklift and pallet trucks. The slots in the two top-deck members are used to install steel strapping, which provides load restraint. The pallet measures 48 inches in length and 40 inches in width. It has a safe working load (SWL) of 4,000 pounds. It is a general-purpose pallet used primarily for shipment of domestic unit loads of ordnance.":



I guess it the one seen here :

Is it the one you're looking for ?

He is looking for more info on the different types of flatracks used by the US military for the M1070 LHS and the M1074 PLS (and some USMC systems), like below.

I think it is a typo. He typed the P in the acronym as Pallet. It is actually an M3A1 Container Roll-in/Out Platform (CROP). It is a flatrack that is sized so it can fit inside a standard 20' shipping container.

M3A1 CROP flatrack.
