As a retired Navy person, I was thinking the same thing. Likely their was training and then timed test to put it all back. We had a tri pack for the RAM Missile loader/unloader with that sort of training.. LOL It was 30 minutes to unpack and install the loader assembly as well as 30 minutes to reverse the process.. whew
Cost you more than that to get it home.. lol.. Great buy Casey.. You and HeavyDSparks find some great deals only "D" has an addiction to the auctions...
The M989A1 Heavy Expanded Mobility Ammunition Trailer (HEMAT) is an 11 ton, wagon configuration, off-road trailer designed to move the US Army’s Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) missile pods and munitions. The versatility of the HEMAT enables the U.S. military to accomplish multiple mission ranging from its primary role of hauling MLRS missile pods, to aircraft munitions, to fuel pods and bladders, as well as a multitude of other cargo. The four wheel wagon configuration design functions to provide a stable platform with the added benefit of a balanced suspension system to further enhance off-road capability. Another benefit of this design configuration is the ease in which the trailer can be hitched and unhitched to the prime mover. The trailer’s tongue is easily maneuvered to the towing pintle while the load remains stable and supported. This design enables users to rapidly drop off a loaded trailer without the need to support a heavy trailer tongue. Users must only chock block the wheels to create a safe environment around the HEMAT. Curb weight: 4,932 kg / 10,850 lbs. Payload: 10,000 kg / 22,000 lbs. Deck area: 4470.4 mm x 2438.4 mm / 176 inches x 96 inches
Casey, you seem so nice and happy. I enjoy watching them as I am bedridden with dementia. It puts a smile in my heart to watch you. God bless you and your family!
The government didn’t pay for anything. We the people paid for it and it’s now being sold for penny’s on the dollar after never being used once. Glad it’s going to a good home but the financial waste of our hard earned money is mind boggling.
Whoaaaaa' free spool those winches boys. You are looking at this from the wrong angle unless you want your military to factory order the toys of war AFTER the war starts.
@@davestevens4263 if you recall, obama's gov was the most transparent in history, just ask him. the squatter now in the white house said the same thing.
I've seen the trailer you sold on the Oregon coast moving very large bolders for the jetty. My work takes me to a customer across the road from the staging area for the jetty project.
Casey,notice you rebooked the chains to the Zacklift before continuing your episode! We always enjoy watching Riley learning the ropes and taking control now that school is out for the summer!
Being former Army Supply I can tell you that the way that equipment is packed is for shipping only. After a unit takes ownership of a piece of equipment, all of that gets layed out for inventory and then put back in a specific way to facilitate ease of deployment in the field. That trailer was never issued to a unit at all so you got a literal brand new, never used piece of equipment. You can always tell if a piece of equipment was issued by unit bumper numbers which that trailer doesn't have. Also it's O.D. Green and all used equipment should be Desert Tan.
@@heartland96ayou could swap out the lights, but there's enough military surplus that I'm sure someone has a adapter that wouldn't be that expensive... This trailer is air brake and I think air ride, so that will be the bigger limiting factor for what can tow it...
I guess the NG doesn’t follow that rule of color. We have both green and tan that we’ve deployed with. Of course, it can be argued that a large amount of our equipment is cast-off from active duty.
I've seen the underside of the underreach. Bang it all you want. No one will EVER know. Honestly, when the trailer bumped it I said, 'Oh! Don't scratch the trailer!'
In heavy hauling here we call that pipe a snipe. For help chaining down loads, specifically closing boomers (load binders). Or on the 3/4 inch drive breaker bar for a little extra leverage.
Having worked for a government supplier at one time, there is probably fifty pages of specifications for that piece of pipe, not to mention it has to be accompanied by a certificate of origin showing that the steel it is made out of was made in the USA
@@georgeheidrich5463 The idea of Canadian customs if truck/Zack lift, this trailer, loaded with couple dozen *bikes* by a known illegal importer like Casey? It could be a diplomatic incident. Troops on the border.
It's getting harder and harder to look that stuff up. It's a mild irritation that it's almost impossible for me, now that I'm retired and don't have access to the databases I used to have. Plus, NAVSEA keeps reworking their websites to the point where even public access doesn't get you very far. The last thing I looked up, I think was for a 1940s era generator for...Matt, at Diesel Creek, I think. Even then, though I did find some stuff, it wasn't what I could have found once upon a time.
Here's the NSN: 2330-01-275-7474 I did find it on WebFLIS, but there's not a lot of information on it. Tank and Mobility Command appears to be the PICA for that item. The NSN was created in '88, which would explain the color.
It wasn't all that long ago (2002) when I could sit down at a terminal in my shop just off the hangar bay and browse through such things with relative ease. Made for interesting "light reading" on slow night shifts while underway. 😊
We used those trailers with 8x8 hemtt's to haul rocket pods for mlrs (Rocket artillery). Those slots on the trailer deck are where the shoes for the rocket pods went. They are tough as nails, fun to back up when the tounge lock out pin is missing
Great video ! Wow, i never thought Someone could get deals like that on a Government auction site. Buy & Sell 6 Trailers a Year ! Great way to offset Your taxes You pay every year TO THE Government ! Great deals Giving back to the People that actually Paid for it. i Wonder Why they Sell it & Just Don't Keep it if it's Never been used / it's Brand New ?
I was in the Army for 20 years, that would not be packed like that on the line. That is brand new and never issued to a unit so it was never unpacked and set up. The operator (10 level in your Technical Manual) would sign for everything in there a put it where they choose. A lot of that stuff would be stored in a Conex until needed.
Casey, you need to pick up one of those shelter movers at that same auction so I can watch you demonstrate how they work, and I'm sure you "need" one anyway.
personally think that it would make a fantastic hay hauling trailer especially for the larger round or rectangular bales side fold down for easy loading
MLRS ammo trailer, we called it radio flyer since the wheels are on the corners and the front tires turn with the tongue. Not the best for backing, the locking pin to keep the tongue straight was not the most user friendly. All the straps are for securing rocket pods, up to 4 pods would take 8 straps. good times lol. Sometimes the brakes are difficult to release. This is a very capable trailer, especially for that price!
Many people can get the same deal. Those auctions are open to all. Didn't you hear the driver say they took it from a whole line of trailers? All of them new.
mid trailer on the Driver side there is a brake release so you don't have to cage the brakes. I just drop ramps and pull the trailer off with my Stupid Duty. Maybe easier than lifting it with the boom.
As I mentioned on the other video… you should put your cabover camper on the trailer bed, slide it forward. Then, since the side panels drop in half… you can load an ATV or SxS crossways on the trailer. Drive on, drive off. Nothing is permanently mounted. 👍
Well, what do you want them to do? Military vehicles never make their money back, yet you need them, if you want to have the capability to defend yourself.
@@seafighter4 That's the most irrational thing I've heard today. Defend yourself with government? They only take orders from the top. And your defense isn't on the list. But gold oil lithium and every useful natural resource known to man. That's what they fight about.
Government is not a for profit venture. Yes, waste is out of control, but no one should expect the government to make money buying and selling things. At least surplus auctions give some tax payers a way to recoup some of the excess money paid to the government (taxes) by getting a good deal. Afterall, the people buying the surplus equipment also paid taxes to help the government buy it in the first place.
Any other company. Like Casey, will use the trailer until it is broke, or is not worth fixing. Our government just replaces them because they have a fistful of our cash to use.
@@daveunbrandedThe government is not any other company and especially the military isn’t. Also, very big organizations don’t work like small organizations. What your local companies do is incomparable to what happens here.
you can get different size canvas tents use that as your base platform to fold down sides could extend the overall deck area for the tent or just general outside use. Plenty of room for a side-by-side and all the equipment for more than a week of camping family size
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 I wasn’t sure what to expect from the thumbnail & I’m not that familiar with military trailers. I just bought an old 50s Army trailer recently & that’s it. Your trailer is quite unique looking & one that I’ve never seen before. Sure has made me wonder if I need to look them up. And yours hasn’t ever been deployed…WOW! Brand new! Show us more on how it’s hooked up when you can. I’m sure interested in that. I love the tool box it had! Great stuff! 🥰🤩✌️
Had to check to see if my app or Chromecast died cause I missed the outro, nope that was the outro. That Casey is sneaky with the algorithm. Got an extra hit on the video and another comment. Good work my man.
Hi Casey I will argue the (shackle ) is a clevis a shackle the pin screws into the body a clevis the pin slides in and is contained by some kind of cotter or spring pin.
I was a screener for surplus’s military equipment . Not the miles on any equipment it’s the years in inventory . Get on the gov screening list . Make a bid a few bucks take it home
Baha ! Thats why we hate casey LaDelle. That fool is cumn up with all the stuff the gov waists money on & gives it to this tow guy dude for pennys & yah well it is what it is . Atleast its not sitting in the sun in a dirt lot in Barstow commifornia
You need to buy that big 8x8 truck from Clint at C&C equipment to haul that thing around. I don't think you'd get it for 347.00 though. Pretty sure you made your money back just in ratchet straps on that deal.
Not a new trailer per-se. The way the military ensures that there is always available equipment for war reserve is to send a piece of equipment that has been used to IROAN (inspect repair only as necessary) and then paint, the CARC paint date on the back left corner will be when it was painted and will be different than the manufacturer date. That is why there is CARC paint overspray on the tires and electrical/air lines, nothing is removed when they repaint, origional manufacturer equipment wont have the overspray. Equipment is then placed in storage for break glass in case of... Now that those trailers are being replaced in the fleet by something else and no longer in service they are going to auction, and you are getting it straight from storage where it has likely been sitting for a number of years. Good Buy!
" fire extinguisher at the back" that's because it's a surplus never been used trailer, I'm shure if u were to get one that was used it would be mounted somewhere on the trailer
The title is probably wrong. There is no reason to believe that was the cheapest one. People actually participating in the auction may have bid lower live bids. There is a reason why stuff can go cheap: I just had an estate sale, and stuff nobody buys usually gets hauled away to charities or the dump, even though it's perfectly fine. It costs more to advertise to sell it than you get.
Casey in my opinion that trailer was definitely a good investment since I know that the trailer brand new was probably 5 times the price. I am rewatching this video so I could like and comment
All your goodies are called Bii every government vehicle is supposed to have it with it from birth till death. Just some of it gets tactically aquire when they go to the back of the motor pool but guarantee some poor private had to lay that out for inspection 50 times😂
Tough crowd.... Bottom line, it doesn't really matter who ends up with these things... None of us will ever see any return on what we shelled out via said taxes... Don't blame Casey for it. That's just plain dumb.
@@Michael-zv8cl Um what? Could you link to reply? He offered more than anyone else. If he had not bid it might have sold for couple hundred. I bought a tractor. Went to load. The son *i assume* tried to get tought. “You the guy that STOLE my mom’s tractor?” I told him. “Nope. I am guy who was willing to pay $4000 more then anyone else”. *not quite true one other bidder stopped $250 less. But it was just us two till then
Wow, what a great deal. Think of the possibilities. Like you said, a bug-out platform or how about building it in to a mobile command center / disaster recovery rig for a municipality or other entity. The sky’s the limit!
Hai Casey, een interessante mooie video je heb een goede deal gedaan met het leger voor deze aanhangwagen, was mooi te zien hoe je deze met wrecker van wagen af haalde bedankt ervoor gr carel uit holland
wow a nuther stubet vedo
The ironic thing about you calling my video “stupid” is that your spelling is so bad it asked me if I wanted to translate your comment to English 😂
@@CaseyLaDellenotice that google didnt even know that they said lol
Who is stu bet?
I'm glad someone knew what that gibberish meant! 😂😂
I suppose "translate to English" tells me everything I need to know.....
Knowing the military the way I do, there is probably a manual dedicated on how to load that storage compartment with a week long training session.
Of course there has to be but do all active units load it the same nope they throw and go
and the reason they sold it was because the fire extinguisher was in the wrong space so instead of moving the extinguisher they sold them
As a retired Navy person, I was thinking the same thing. Likely their was training and then timed test to put it all back. We had a tri pack for the RAM Missile loader/unloader with that sort of training.. LOL It was 30 minutes to unpack and install the loader assembly as well as 30 minutes to reverse the process.. whew
😂😂😂😂
Yeup.. 100% agree
Hell.. there's an actual technical manual on how to properly chalk aircraft tires
I bet Casey never does manage to get all that stuff back in the locker. He never took the course!
I looked back at the invoice and my winning bid was $325.
Cost you more than that to get it home.. lol.. Great buy Casey.. You and HeavyDSparks find some great deals only "D" has an addiction to the auctions...
Wish I had the room for that stuff. I would have bought it, too. Congrats!
Oops I forgot what I bid on. LOL great surprise and a great price.
At that price, I would have bought one too, and I have nothing i could use it with... 😂
You stole it for $325.
It’s not what the government paid for the pipe it’s what we the taxpayers paid for the pipe

At 11,000 pounds it worth far more in scrap metal than what you paid for it.
Great buy and video.
1 tire is worth more than he paid for the trailer which he actually got for free with the profit he made selling the other trailer
Sweet deal! That would be good for when you folks do your annual junk clean up out on the mountain.
When you dream up a new project to build from the ground up; you already have the "from the ground up" part setting in your driveway!
Them auctions will get ya everytime
Great buy on the trailer. I see the on-x bus sitting at your place. Keep up the great videos.
I thought I saw that and wondered how it could possibly be there! Looked again. Lifted bus with black front and the ice-cream window. Yup.
I think a Unimog would match that trailer perfectly?
...too bad C & C Equipment sold their last one...

Only 347$ for that trailer! Amazing find as always Casey!
Thanks for the opportunity to haul this.

Hi Casey always enjoy your videos. I have to ask a question. Is that the ON X bus in the background that Robby Layton built?
Now you need a matching Autocar to pull with, or maybe an Oshkosh
Casey, you need to pick up one of those shelter movers at that same auction so I can watch you demonstrate how they work, and I'm sure you "need" one anyway.

Mobile bugout cabin is a good idea. I’m going to go try to talk my neighbor into selling me one of his trailers like this now:)
All your goodies are called Bii every government vehicle is supposed to have it with it from birth till death. Just some of it gets tactically aquire when they go to the back of the motor pool but guarantee some poor private had to lay that out for inspection 50 times😂
I doubt on that unit. It likely was delivered. Then counted on books. That’s it.
Tough crowd.... Bottom line, it doesn't really matter who ends up with these things... None of us will ever see any return on what we shelled out via said taxes... Don't blame Casey for it. That's just plain dumb.
@@Michael-zv8cl Um what? Could you link to reply? He offered more than anyone else. If he had not bid it might have sold for couple hundred.
I bought a tractor. Went to load. The son *i assume* tried to get tought. “You the guy that STOLE my mom’s tractor?” I told him. “Nope. I am guy who was willing to pay $4000 more then anyone else”. *not quite true one other bidder stopped $250 less. But it was just us two till then
Nice score!
Now the trick is to put all that you took out back in the same box as packed!
Wow, what a great deal. Think of the possibilities. Like you said, a bug-out platform or how about building it in to a mobile command center / disaster recovery rig for a municipality or other entity. The sky’s the limit!
Hai Casey, een interessante mooie video je heb een goede deal gedaan met het leger voor deze aanhangwagen, was mooi te zien hoe je deze met wrecker van wagen af haalde bedankt ervoor gr carel uit holland
35k per extension pipe. On par with the 55k trashcans and whatever the toilets were.
With that price I would buy one of those! Might need help from my dad or brother to store it because I myself don't have room even for a small car!
I was wondering what was the advantage unloading the trailer by lifting it - other than generating content :)
Faster, easier, and safer
