MP Field Maintenance Accessory Trailer

This is meant to support the Field Maintenance trailer -- it's not as useful "on its own" -- when repairing heavy vehicles.

Based on the U.S. military M103A3 utility trailer. It's a two-wheel trailer with a contractor's/military towing lunette, and a "landing wheel" for when it's not attached to a towing vehicle. The trailer weighs 775 kg without any tools loaded; it's 2.6 tons maximum total weight off-road. 4.3 meters long, 2.4 meters wide, air over hydraulic brakes (and a mechanical parking brake), and (for the Morrow Project) 11x20 tires.

8 Morrow Project vehicle batteries are fitted, to provide 12,000 watt-hours of electricity (about 1 hour of continuous arc welding); there are four dome lights, and outlets for 12 volt and 28 volt DC power, 110-115 and 23-240 volt AC power, along with a fuse box. There are hose reel connections for electrical cords, and a 20 meter long extension cord with a heavy-duty outlet head.

The trailer has doors on all sides, a fold-down work bench (with a vice) at the rear, and lots of drawers, cabinets, boxes, racks, brackets, etc.; it contains:

a dozen or so 4" x 4" blocks of wood
four air-over-hydraulic jacks
transmission jack
six jack stands
two "cherry pickers" -- rolling folding shop cranes (or engine hoists), 2 ton capacity, lift height 2 meters from ground, weight 72 kg each
20 ton hydraulic press
two tool boxes of power tools (pneumatic and electric)
tool box of large vehicle tools (very large wrenches, etc.)
two spare starter motors for big ol' truck or bulldozer
two 20 liter buckets of cleaning rags
two 1 kg plastic jugs of hand-cleaning soap
100 liter plastic tank of water (empty)
100 liter plastic tank of engine lubricant oil (full)
eight 20 liter cans: 2 are marked for fresh water; the others are un-marked, meant for transmission fluid, etc.
funnels and hoses for all the fluids
four empty truck batteries (as in, not Project technology)
four battery hulls (to use Morrow Project vehicle batteries as truck batteries -- battery not included)
