SOFRAME SRPB semi-trailer tank carrier
The SRPB (Semi-Remorque Porte Blindé) was designed and developed to meet a French Ministry of Defence requirement to carry the LECLERC Main Bttle Tank. Its robust design enables it to carry similar combat tanks such as the M1, the Leopard 2 or the Ariete. The SRPB can carry loads up to 70 tonnes and can be coupled to most tractors currently in service within NATO. It has 6 axles, the rear 3 of which are steering axles. The height of the gooseneck is hydraulically adjustable. The hydraulic suspension system enables the height of the loading platform to be adjusted. A roller and pulley system is installed to enable the loading and unloading of damaged or defective vehicles. The SRPB is in service with the French and other armies.
