HMMWV Tire Replacement Jack

Bogert International Inc. has developed a patent pending tire replacement jack allowing troops to deploy the Bogert Jack and lift the M1114, M1151A, M1152A1, and M1165A1, and lighter HMMWV models (GVWR up to15,400 pounds) in under 3 minutes.

HMMWV's used by troops in Iraq & Afghanistan have been so heavily armored that the original equipment jack no longer works to change tires or perform emergency repairs in a timely manner. The weight, coupled with the unique suspension characteristics, and the unstable soil conditions compound the problem.

The 30M-HV Kit (NSN 5120 01 546 9940) has been tested in the mud, sand, wet sand and on gravel slopes with a compound longitudinal and lateral grade of 4 degrees. Lifting from the shock mounting bolt on the underside of the lower control arm, the Bogert Jack has a minimum lifting height of 6.0 inches and a maximum lift height of 19 inches, providing 14 inches of available lifting power stroke.

I had wondered about all that extra armor and additional weight. Under 3 minutes is phenominal time! I noticed in this picture they had access to air driven tools. Lucky guy's, as I never had access to that stuff back in the day.

Yes it's true. 3 minutes or less. I know because I was helping with the testing. This jack was tested by TACOM, the Rapid Equipping Force and AM General. It was one of 18 jacks that were tested from ten manufactures. After months of test and evaluation it was the only one that always got the job done.

The "AIR TOOLS" are not Air at all. At the same time that the jacks were being tested, several impact tools were being evaluated. The one in the background is a 24 volt electric impact wrench that plugs into the HMMWV Aux electrical port. This tool really cut the time to change a tire. Two guys working together could change a tire in around 6 minutes.

way to go Richard! 6 min to change out a tire! I especially like the fact that the impact wrenches are electric!

I have been building and delivering our improved lifting jack for the HMMWV to the Army and the USMC for awhile now. It would be very helpful to me to talk to or email our warfighters that are using the jack. I want to know what is good about it but more importantly what could be made better. I want to make sure I'm giving the troops exactly what they need. I've requested this kind of info through the Army without any help.

If you know someone that has used our 30M-HV JACK, please ask them to contact me. You can get me at info@hmmwvjack.com or bogert.intl@gmail.com
