HMMWV ambulance body dimensions

[M813rc]

I have a Humvee shelter carrier 5th-wheel trailer, and I am trying to figure out if a 4-litter ambulance body will fit on it.
I haven't found one locally to measure, and I have searched both SS and the net without finding the information, so...

Anyone have one they would be willing to take some measurements of?
I just need the 5 listed on the drawing in red.

Thanks, and cheers

Edit-
Here are measurements taken from an in-service ambulance. Thanks Mkcoen and his buddy Omar for getting these, and even a couple of extras.


1- 71"
2- 31"
3- 40.25"
4- 32"
5- 46.5"

ofeer to pay someone that has one. I don't have one.

 

[mkcoen]

Could you swing by one of the units at Mabry that has one? I thought I'd seen them on base before.

Good luck getting on a base to "measure" something on one of their vehicles.

Camp Mabry is a NG base and we're on there every month for our club meeting. One of our members is a LTC there so could probably get him access.

I have access to Camp Mabry, and already looked there without finding one.

And I've never been asked to pay someone for such information on this site, nor have I ever asked anyone to pay me for information I have provided, regardless of the effort involved in acquiring it. If this information is only available for a fee, I don't want it! Not because I am unwilling to pay a reasonable fee for services rendered, but because of the principle involved.
But that's just my personal opinion, which is worth exactly

Cheers

I passed this info along to a friend that is on Camp Bullis often and may be able to get the measurements.

I know there's one sitting at Ft. Jackson if anyone is down there.

I mentioned offering something because you had ZERO replies. But you did after I mentioned money! lol.

someone on here earlier this month stated they had the tall version of this for 4 stretchers. Someone else asked him to measure it, but I never saw a reply with those.

I believe this is thread you are referring

He wouldn't measure it because Allan didn't want to buy it? That's pretty disappointing.

I have one and can measure it but as it is sitting on a wood frame and not a truck I cannot do all he wants. Let me know if you want what I can give you. Eddy

 

[M813rc]

Thank you, I'll take any measurements you can get off it. I'm most interested in 2, 3 and 5 on the diagram, those are the ones that will tell me if it will fit the trailer.

Cheers

 

[M813rc]

Okay, I have received some dimensions, and worked out some from other information, measuring the trailer, and some SWAG'ing. I have added those to post 1, and attached an amended diagram below.

If anyone can confirm or correct any of those, and/or provide the others, it would be greatly appreciated.
A big thank you to Mkcoen for reaching out to someone who provided several of the measurements, and enough to extrapolate the rest.

So, if it's all correct, it looks like the body will fit on the trailer, and clear all of the generator related equipment already on it, with no issues.

Cheers

Until I find a suitable ambulance body, this is going on the trailer.
An S-788, that I'm told was a drone control unit. All the really good gear is gone from inside, some control panels and empty racks are all that's left.
The front bustle holds two air conditioner units. (A9KH-115P)

Can you post a picture of the trailer? I have only seen a handful. There was a few brand new ones at Tobyhanna in 2012 and I have only seen 1 in private hands and it was a different trailer.

 

[M813rc]

It is an unusual one, to be sure. There are no data plates, nor any sign it ever had any.
It does have a cage code stamped on a lot of the parts, which comes back to Laguna Industries out of NM. They were apparently doing good building trailers and shelters in the early-mid 2000's, but then started having problems meeting delivery schedules and the company went tango uniform, so no help with information from there.

I was told that the trailer would have a title when I bought it, but when I picked it up, the seller couldn't recall that conversation and said he had no paperwork but a bill of sale......
I don't want to get any further into that, but mentioned it because it contributes to the lack of knowledge on trailer ancestry.

The second picture with the trailer hooked to a 931 came out of my "odd MV" file, I do not recall where or when I found the picture on the internet, unfortunately. Nor have I been able to find it again.
I have carefully matched up all the scrapes and blemishes, it is definitely the one I have now.

Cheers
