| Supacat have designed a very specialised military vehicle called the HMT. The intials actually stand for High Mobility Transport, which rather understates this machine.
The specifiaction that is truely impressive and to enhance the mobility of this big load carrier they incorperated our latest H12-2speed hydraulic winch into the standard specification. With a GVW of
around 7 tonnes, the engineers at Supacat knew that only a tough hydraulic winch was going to really work, when the fully laden vehicle gets stuck. Especially in the harsh and varied environments in which
the HMT is designed to be operate. |

In the development of HMT, the Design Team has utilised to the full all of the expertise that they have gained in the production of many different types of vehicles. HMT is a versatile load carrier for
payloads of up to 3.2 tonnes equal to 2 x 1.6 tonne NATO pallets or 3 x Euro pallets. The two seat forward control cab and the mid-mounted engine, results in a compact vehicle with very good vision and
good weight distribution and the ability to drive into Chinook CH47.
Suspension, front and rear, is double wishbone with inboard mounted air springs operating through a rocker and push rods. Twin shock absorbers for each of the large diameter wheels control the suspension
even over the roughest terrain. The suspension components are all rubber mounted onto a steel plate fabrication to make an axle assembly. These axle assemblies are joined by a deep square tube frame with
rollover structure to form a complete rolling chassis frame to which cab and body variants are mounted. |

Variable ride heights from a minimum ground clearance of 150mm to a maximum of 550mm, combined with spring rates proportional to load, give a very comfortable ride for the crew.
The turbo-charged diesel engine and 4 speed auto-transmission is equipped with a transfer case using high and low ratios and full time 4 wheel drive, and later 6 wheel drive, which can be locked when the
going gets tough! Power assisted ventilated discs brakes on all wheels and transmission-parking brake gives adequate stopping power.
The result is a range of vehicles that meets the demands of the highest efficiency for 'off road', 'on road' and motorway operation. Using the best in design expertise, the un-laden weight has been kept
low to give maximum payload weight and space. It is also essential to have the correct engine power for a fully laden vehicle.
HMT is 30 b.h.p. per ton and gives the high performance and agility required for all transportation conditions with an excellent towing capability.
