K-3 Bomb Lift Truck

The K-3 bomb lift truck was designed for use with the Convair B-36 bomber. Because of the bomber's mammoth size, the B-36's top bomb shackles were more than 17 feet from the ground. Hand-cranked hoist and cable loading of the large bombs was too hazardous, so the Air Force ordered a self-powered weapons loader. (U.S. Air Force photo)
