airdrop platforms

[Edelbroke]

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen an airdrop platform or skid (not sure of the correct name for them) that a Humvee would slide out of a C17 go through a gov auction? Do the new JLTV's fit the ones used for the Humvees? Or do these take such abuse landing that they are not reused? I would like to have 1 or 2 of them.
Thanks

I would guess there are 3 or 4 that made it to a GL lot.

The heavy air drop platforms are very well reused. They are very hefty pieces of equipment with some serious metal work done to them. There's different types though, maybe you're thinking of a standard 463L pallet? Those have gone up and members here have them.

You could have none as they are waster pieces. So Review attached.
Can not download complete so go see TM 9-4-48 or the attached.
