Fairly common box, and not particular to the carrier, although a lot of the bins on the mk1 seem to be designed for these.

Careful. They fit the oblong bins in the front on their sides...the sides that don't have the canvas strap handle to lift them back out. Once they go in they are a nice fit but very difficult to get back out unless you had he foresight to loop a blanket strap or something around them first.

I'm sure that's not what they meant by "kerbside delivery".

Default if I had a carrier

I would use a winch to load and never drive it on.
Stood next to a trailer once watching one drive on until it lost traction with the deck and turned into a very large dangerous chainsaw.
Now I stand way back.

When moving track, I always ask for the detachable neck type trailers. A few times I was sent the stepdeck which is about 4 feet off the ground. I don't usually have a problem going onto it, but coming off with something like a M113 really takes it's toll on the nerves. The driver has been ground guiding you to move faster, you just hit the tipping point, and any uneven touch of the tiller bars has you coming off sideways. Luckily at that point you already have about 7 feet hanging over, so you are practically on the ground anyway, but as you come down (and are no longer in line with the deck) you have to wonder how hard the landing is going to be.

I'm too old for that crap.

Yes, you learn and refuse to do the silly things you once did. Years ago after climbing the beaver tail to get to that 4' deck the driver wanted me to climb yet again the steel ramps to the upper deck over 5th wheel (so he could fit another vehicle and save a trip). I did it but the carrier was pointed 45 degrees up and all I saw was sky. Once the carrier landed on the bed I had about 6" to stop or end up in the the truck's back window. The incident of the sideways parking job occurred when I had the carrier on the steel deck, stopped and the parking brake engaged. But because of the slope and pitch of the road together with the deck checkerplate, well, things just started to move. Other than smoky oil in the cylinders and a bent aerial bracket no harm done...except to my ego.

When moving on the beavertail stepdeck type trailers, I usually move a howitzer up onto that top deck. or a smaller vehicle like a Jeep. For the howitzers, I use an MLVW or a Deuce (with hitch on the nose) to push it onto there, along with a set of those plastic ramps you buy at princess auto along with some wood blocks. To try and climb the 16" without some form of ramp could turn out badly if things aren't square on.

Default Once rode in a Carrier climbing on to trailer

Hi All


Years ago I rode in a Carrier while it was being loaded, had I seen some of the videos of what goes wrong loading tracked vehicles onto transports. I think to day I'd say "I'll get out here want to get in on video".


I think there may even be video of the experience, will have to look for it.



Cheers Phil
