M113A1-B-Rec
Notes:
This armored recovery vehicle is based on an M113A1 chassis updated to
M113A2 standards. It is used by
Brazil, Australia, Bahrain, Belgium, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Netherlands, and
Sudan. The M113A1 B-Rec has a main
winch with a capacity of 9.07 tons, and has 91.4 meters of cable.
This winch is located in the center of the rear compartment. The winch's
mechanism always makes sure the cable is wound around its drum as tightly and
evenly as possible. Spades are
lowered on each side of the hull at the rear during heavy winching operations
and when using the crane. If the soil is especially soft a third spade can be
lowered in the front. The crane is mounted on the left side of the roof, has a
reach of 3 meters, and can lift 1.36 tons.
M113A1 B-Recs are modified so that, with the hatches closed, the vehicle
has NBC Overpressure protection. The M113A1 has been redesigned to provide extra
buoyancy in areas necessary to counteract extra weight for its crane and winch
mechanisms. Though some of these
vehicles have been built in the US, none of them have been picked up for US
Military service. (The remainder of
these vehicles are built in Belgium.)
The original
M113 ARVs were designed in the US, and during their testing were designated
XM806; despite much testing with satisfactory results, the US Army ultimately
decided to pass on them for its uses.
