HMMWV ADAPTERS
See next page for HMMWV adapter diagram and specifications.
The HMMWV adapters are specifically to be used when it is desired to raise a HMMWV
(Hummer) by the front and rear bumpers for wheels free servicing. These adapters can also be
used to pick up mobile military generators, a/c units, etc. These adapters are used with a pair of
posts.
Directions for Use:
Drive the vehicle into the lifting area.
Slip the HMMWV adapters over the forks of a master and slave post.
Drop the fork retainer pins in the holes at the carriages.
Locate posts at the front and rear of the vehicle.
Locate lifting pads at desired locations to contact frame at bumper ends.
Ensure pads are at widest settings possible.
Lift pair until pads engaged frame.
Verify proper frame engagement with pads.
Lift pair approximately 6 inches.
Shake truck slightly to ensure secure and balanced support of frame.
Operate lift as desired.
WARNING:
Any removal of components from vehicle while raised may alter the center of gravity of the
vehicle and produce an unsafe or unstable condition of the vehicle or the lifting system that may
cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment. Ensure vehicle center of gravity is always
located at center of lifting pads. Use jack stands as an added measure of safety to ensure load
stabilization.
NOTICE:
The HMMWV adapters are rated for 12,000 lbs per post (24,000 lbs per post pair)
Always ensure that the HMMWV adapters are fully inserted over the lifting forks and retaining
pins are inserted into carriage holes. Also, ensure that HWWMV center of gravity is centered on
the between the pads to prevent offset loading of posts.
Do not use these to pick up just one end of a vehicle only. Use adapters only in pairs.
The HMMWV adapters are intended for use on Mohawk MP-Series 15” Long Fork lifts ONLY.
