HMMWV Utility Truck

[Lawrence of Arabia]

I saw this in my travels and had to take a picture. I work on truck mounted man lifts for a living and had never seen one mounted on a HMMWV. I was told there were 12 built. We actually did an inspection on it for the guy and it appeared to be put on by the boom MFG. At first sight I thought someone must have butchered a HMMWV in their back yard to install this lift, but it was all well built and properly mounted.

That's a civilian Hummer. Surely an expensive lift truck.

Originally AM General offered bare bones Hummers for commercial offroad applications such as logging, power line work, etc. While not cheap, they were 1/2 the price of a GM bling Hummer.

If you have to change that utility pole light out in on the back 40 and a regular lift truck might not make it then this is the vehicle for you. I would have to think that the 6.2 non-turbo (which I'm making the assumption that it this is) would be a dog with all that added weight on the back.

I have seen them in Oakland years ago at the PG&E yard...pacific gas and electric.
