Scammell Commander with Crane Fruehauf 62T semi-trailer

Description

The Scammell Commander heavy tank transporter has its origins in a British Army requirement for main battle tanks weighing well over 60 tons. It was originally developed to replace older Thornycroft Antars tank transporters. Development of the Commander carrier began in 1976, but due to delays in defense spending, production of a batch of 125 units for the British Army did not begin until 1983. The British Army used to tow the Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 main battle tanks.

Designed to tow loads of up to 65 tons, the Commander tows a special semi-trailer on which the tanks can be loaded from the tail using a hydraulic winch with a capacity of 20 tons.
