The MK29/MK30 7-ton Dump variant of the MTVR family will replace the M817, M929, M929A1 and the M930.
These trucks use state of the art commercial technology including an independent suspension system, electronically
controlled engine and transmission and a central tire inflation system, which increases the off-road maneuverability
and mobility of the vehicle. The MK29/MK30 is equipped with a steel welded dump body, which extends up and
over the vehicle cab to prevent damage during loading. The difference between the MK29 and MK30 is that the
MK30 has a 20,000-pound capacity self-recovery winch. The MK29/MK30 is a 7-ton, 6x6 designed for use on all
types of roads, highways and cross-country terrain. It is capable of traversing a 60 percent gradient, a 30 percent
side slope up to 15 mph and a 40 percent side slope at 5 mph and has an on-road cruising range of 300 miles. The
MK29/MK30 variants are capable of being transported by highway, rail, sea and air. MK29A1/MK30A1is referred to as “ready to accept armor” (RTAA). This model has upgraded cab mounts, armored flooring, upgraded
suspension, and air conditioning. RTAA is not considered an armored vehicle and is interchangeable with the
MK29/MK30 to satisfy (T/E) allowances.
