MAN 27.365 VFAE Recovery Vehicle

Notes: This is based on a MAN 8x8 15-ton truck chassis by Germany, and is used by Canada. The vehicle is of a cabover design, with the transmission below the cab and the engine behind the cab. The spare tire is to the right of the engine on the outside. Behind the engine is a large equipment box, 2.3 meters long. Behind that box is the crane, which has a capacity of 20 tons. The crane can be operated by remote control, and when it is used, four outriggers are lowered for bracing. Depending on the vehicle, either a fifth wheel is located over the third and fourth axles, or a recovery unit is located there that is capable of lifting 11.34 tons or towing 38.56 tons. This recovery assembly may be fitted with a tow bar or cable. The MAN 27.365 VFAE also has a rear-mounted recovery winch with a capacity of 20.41 tons and a front-mounted secondary/self-recovery winch with a capacity of 9.07 tons. Other equipment includes an air compressor and a basic tool kit, excavating tool kit, either a wheeled or tracked vehicle tool kit (depending on what kind of unit the vehicle is attached to), and several tow bars and cables.
