The Palletized Load System (PLS) Trailer is designed to carry loads behind the LVSR with minor
preparation. The trailer may also be towed behind other USMC heavy tactical trucks. The PLS Trailer is
used in conjunction with the M1077/MK1077 flatracks. The M1076 trailer, capable of carrying payloads up
to 16.5 tons, is equipped with a flatrack that is interchangeable between truck and trailer. The prime mover
truck and trailer form a self-contained system that loads and unloads its cargo without the need for forklifts
or other material handling equipment. Without leaving the cab, the driver can load or unload the truck in
less than one minute, and both truck and trailer in less than five minutes.
