The Light Tactical Trailer M1101 or M1102 is a single axle, two wheel trailer designed to be towed by a HMMWV towing vehicle. The high ground clearance trailer consists of a cargo box mounted on the Light Tactical Trailer Chassis. The nomenclature and NSNs are:
- Trailer, Cargo: 2-Wheel, Light M1101 (NSN 2330-01-387-5443)
- Trailer, Cargo: 2-Wheel, Heavy M1102 (NSN 2330-01-387-5426)
M1101 Light Tactical Trailer (LTT) dataplate.
The M1101 and M1102 trailers have the same tires, wheels, and track width as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).
A hand-brake lever and cable assembly located on each side of the trailer activate a service brake at each wheel. Control of each service brake is independent. In addition to handbrake-activated service brakes, the trailers are equipped with an inertia-actuated hydraulic brake system (surge brakes). The trailer suspension consists of one shock absorber on each end of the axle. Two stabilizers, stored in the front and installed in the rear, provide stability during loading or unloading cargo while the trailer is not coupled to a towing vehicle. A rear tail gate drops down to assist loading.
The only difference between the M1101 and the M1102 trailers is the model information and payload capacity stated on the dataplate.
