M1090 Dump Truck

The M1090 Dump Truck is designed to transport construction material in support of combat engineer road and bridge projects. The M1090 has a 5 cubic yard, 10,000 pound payload capacity. The cargo bed can be equipped with an optional bench seat kit for transport of soldiers. The bench seats are constructed of a non-wood material and attach to the cargo bed side rails. The seats can be folded down and stowed when not in use. Soldiers are assisted climbing in and out of the cargo bed area with the aid of a ladder stowed on the vehicle when not in use. A canvas and bows kit is provided to keep soldiers and cargo protected from the elements. The M1090 can be equipped with a self-recovery winch capable of fore/aft vehicle recovery operations. The winch is equipped with 280 feet line capacity and 15,500 pounds bare drum line pull at 110% overload.
