RIGGING THE M101, M101A1 OR M101A2, 3/4-TON CARGO
TRAILER WITH ACCOMPANYING LOADS
DESCRIPTION OF LOAD
1. The M101, M101A1 or M101A2, 3/4-ton cargo trailer (Figure 1) with accompanying
loads is rigged on a 12-foot typeV platform for low velocity airdrop. The load
shown is rigged with accompanying loads consisting of 22 boxes of 105-millime-
ter ammunition and weighing 2,440 pounds. The 3/4-ton cargo trailer is rigged
with one or two G-11B cargo parachutes depending on the rigged weight. The
3/4-ton cargo trailer may also be rigged with an accompanying load weighing a
maximum of 1,500 pounds is stowed in the trailer. Additional accompanying
loads may be stowed on the platform as long as the maximum rigged weight
does not exceed 8,000 pounds. The unrigged trailer weighs 1,340 pounds. It is
147 inches long and 71 inches wide. The height of the trailer is 82 inches,
reducible to 51 inches.
PREPARING PLATFORM
2. Prepare a 12-foot type V platform according to TM 10-1670-268-20&P/TO 13C7-52-22
and as shown in Figure 2.

3. Install a tandem link on the rear of each platform side rail using holes 22, 23 and 24.
4. Install a clevis on bushings 2, 3 and 4 on each rear tandem link.
5. Starting at the front of each platform side rail, install clevises on the bushings bolted on
holes 10, 11, 15, 18, and 20.
6. Starting at the front of the platform, number the clevises 1 through 10 on the right side
and 1A through 10A on the left side.
7. Starting at the front of the platform, label the two tie-down rings on the first five panels
A and B from right to left. Label the four tie-down rings on the last panel A, B, C, and D from right
to left. Starting with the first panel, number the tie-down rings 1 through 6.
