STANDARDISATION OF THE US TANK TRANSPORTER
In September 2022, Broshuis received an order for 466 Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHET) for the US Department of Defense. The EHET is almost identical to the IHET. The success of the IHET trailer led to the standardisation of the US tank transporter, which will be deployed worldwide. Read more here.
Commissioned by
US Department of Defense
Order
The delivery of 466 Enhanced Heavy Equipment Transporter System (EHET) for transporting tanks and other heavy equipment.
Type of trailer
8-axle PL2 pendular axle semi low loaders
Execution
Delivery of the EHET project will take place between 2023 to 2027.
Tender process
The tender process for the EHET began back in 2018, even before the IHET order was awarded. The US army was looking for a solution to transport tanks and other heavy equipment. During the testing of the Broshuis IHET trailer prototypes, the load capacity was found to meet the higher requirements of the EHET programme. These test results, the high product quality and the services provided made the US army decide to choose Broshuis and Oshkosh Defense again.
