Yes, you'd have thought that having trialled the vehicle before purchase the Army would have identified this weakness.
They retro-fitted a Donaldson reactor to some of the trucks (mine included) at considerable expense; this allowed about an extra half ton to be lifted, however they then discovered the device was bending the Militant's chassis, so they banned its use! I wonder how we ever won the war... or did we?
