The Container Handling Unit (CHU) is an add-on kit that allows for the loading/unloading and transport of standard 20 ft (6.1 m) ISO containers without the need for an intermediate flatrack.
M1075 PLS trucks (with or without winch) can have an integral CHU stowage facility between the LHS hook arm and engine.
CHUs were procured as part of the original FHTV contract.
Weight of the complete CHU is 1746 kg.
Installation time is 80 man hours.

Oshkosh produced the original CHU, the current E-CHU (E - Enhanced) is manufactured by GT Machining & Fabricating Ltd of Canada.
By September 2010 over 1,000 E-CHUs had been produced.
Current orders increase totals to 6300 units, with production running until September 2016.
