Big tow troubles.


Mechanics, if a Stryker is damaged to the point that flat towing is impossible, do not make the mistake of using a HEMTT HEMTT Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck  wrecker to tow with the Stryker's front end suspended. That type of recovery is strictly forbidden by the Stryker operator's manual.

Not only will it damage the rear suspension and hubs on the Stryker. but it can also break the HEMTT's rift cylinders.

Instead. call for an M916 tractor truck with an M870AI semitrailer sem·i·trail·er  
n.
A trailer having a set or several sets of wheels at the rear only, with the forward portion being supported by the truck tractor or towing vehicle.
. Recover the Stryker on the trailer and take it back to a safe area for repair.
