B720 Mobilizer in 4-Wheel Empty Transport Mode

CDK Mobile Systems lnc. offers the B-720 Mobilizer for handling and transport of S-280 style tactical shelters. The B-720 is a commercial, improved version of the old military designation M-720 system. The B-720 system provides the same form, fit, and function as the obsolete M-720, but has been reengineered and improved with commercial off-the--shelf components and stronger materials.

The B-720 is rated for highway or off-road transport of S-280 style shelters when pulled behind a suitable tow vehicle. The B-720 can also load S-280 shelters onto C-130 transport aircraft (either pulled on-board with aircraft winch, or pushed on by a tow vehicle)

Two variants of the B-720 system are available:

• The Standard B-720 has a tare weight of 2,600 pounds and a Shelter Payload Capacity of 6,000 pounds.  

• The B-720HD system has a tare weight of 2,850 pounds and a Shelter Payload Capacity of 8,000 pounds.

The dimensions of the B-720 Mobilizer system (without shelter) are as follows:

The front B-720 dolly includes a drawbar with 3-inch lunette eye and safety chains. The drawbar is spring loaded and can be stored in the vertical position. The front part also includes an electrical connector to MS 75020-1 and two Gladhand Fittings to attach to the light and brake connections on the tow vehicle.

The B-720 is equipped with air-spring suspension systems and shock absorbers for smooth transport of electronic shelters. Once attached to the shelter, the B-720 is raised for transport by means of two hydraulic cylinders on each half part operated by a manual hand pump with 24-inch lever. Mechanical lockout struts are provided for safety during transport operations, and a rear pintle to MS51335-2 is provided for tandem towing.

The B-720 includes air-over-hydraulic brakes, lights and reflectors to meet USA road regulations. The unit also incorporates a hand parking brake lever at each corner. The running gear tires are 10 ply, Size 7.50-1 6.
