MIL-DTL-62034G(AT)
6. NOTES
(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is
not mandatory.)
6.1 Intended use. The trailers covered under this specification should perform under
extreme battlefield conditions, including cross-country operation at -50 to 125 °F, fording water
to a depth sufficient to completely submerge the chassis of the vehicle, ascending and
descending longitudinal grades of 40%, and managing slide slopes having a 20% grade. Since
operation of commercial semitrailers under these same conditions would result in catastrophic
failure, this item is military unique. Specific semitrailers covered under this specification are as
follows:
a. Semitrailer, van, cargo: For transporting general cargo.
b. Semitrailer, van, supply: For transporting general supply items.
c. Semitrailer, refrigerator: For transporting perishable food and other items, both
frozen and unfrozen.
d. Semitrailer, stake: For transporting general cargo.
6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:
a. Title, number, and date of this specification.
b. Model of semitrailer required (see 1.2).
c. If required, the specific issue of individual documents referenced (see 2.2.1, 2.2.2,
and 2.3).
d. If first article is required (see 3.1 and 4.2).
e. Tires, if other than as specified (see 3.3.3.1).
f. PIN and quantity of trailers required (see 3.5 and 6.3).
g. Type of information required on data plate, if other than specified (see 3.9).
