NK 1000-76T

Notes: This tank transporter semi-trailer was designed to carry the likes of heavy tanks such as the M-1A2 Abrams and Challenger 2 and other tanks up to 76 tons. The NK 1000-76T is carried on a total of four paired axles, each with four wheels and a total of 32 tires. Except for the front axles, all axles are independently steerable, and all have independent suspensions. The front axle pair lifts when the trailer is empty to reduce tire wear. The trailer has load-balancing capability, and each wheel has airbrakes. The loading ramps are mechanically lifted and raised. As is necessary to carry vehicles of the intended weight, the construction of the NK 1000-76T is quite strong and of high-strength steel. A winch is provided to assist in loading the vehicle, along with the necessary equipment and cables to secure it. The Greeks have yet to find a customer for the trailer, though many countries who use heavy tanks are said to be interested.

NK AP-130/60T

Notes: Used by several countries, the NK AP-130/60T is a tank transporter semi-trailer designed for all but the heaviest tanks in the world today. It is largely constructed of high-strength steel, but the load deck is made from weatherproofed hardwood covered with 10mm-thick sheet steel. (This makes for a very strong floor, with an AV of 2.) The rear of the trailer has two axles with two wheels on each side of the axle, for a total of eight tires. The axles have independent suspension and have decent if unspectacular off-road performance. The trailer is equipped with two winches to aid in loading the vehicle, mounted on the sides of the gooseneck. The loading ramps are hydraulically powered. Other equipment includes two spare wheels and tires, two pulley assemblies, wheel chocks, and two storage boxes.
