Description

Developed at just prior to the FedCom Civil War, the Heavy Lifter, is a Quad legged IndustrialMech design for commercial cargo hauling in the Federated Suns. It was created as a direct competitor with N&D WorkMechs's similar and older Uni CargoMech series.[2]

Weapons and Equipment

Not intended for combat, the Heavy Lifter is design essentially to out preform the Uni in freight hauling business. It's Quadrupedal leg arrange allows for it transfer terrain easier than most conventional vehicles, however it performance is further enhanced with presence of a Fusion Engine. Like all industrialmechs, Heavy Lifter has industrial cockpit and uses Heavy Industrial grade armor. To allow the design to transfer through hazardous environments or in vacuum with world no atmosphere, the Heavy Lifter is further enhanced with Environmental Sealing.

In it's task as a CargoMech, the design features two Lift Hoists mounted in each of it's side torsos. To further strengthen it's carrying capacity, Industrial Triple Strength Myomer is added. The 'Mech also has a small internal cargo capacity, which is allotted in two 1-ton cargo holds which are located in each of the Heavy Lifter's side torsos.[3]

Notes

As of this writing, MUL Profile for the Heavy Lifter has minimum information regarding the design save introduction year and technology level used to make it. It is unknown if the Heavy Lifter remains in production after the Word of Blake conflict that resulted in the destruction of Achernar's BattleMech production facilities at the end of the Jihad.

The Heavy Lifter featured in Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs & Exoskeletons was originally used as the image of the Uni.
