General Characteristics and Role

The Oshkosh M1120 is the Load Handling System (LHS) variant of the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT), an 8×8 diesel-powered off-road truck designed and built by Oshkosh Corporation for the U.S. Army and allied forces. The HEMTT family replaced the older 5-ton trucks and serves as the backbone of the U.S. Army’s logistic and resupply efforts in combat theaters. The M1120 LHS is distinguished by its primary feature: a hydraulically operated hook-and-cable system that allows the vehicle to load and offload various flat racks, containers, and specialized equipment pallets without external assistance, drastically increasing the speed and efficiency of battlefield logistics.
