TankMover™ TM48 & TM80

Move tanks and armored vehicles safely and efficiently in ports, maintenance workshops, warehouses, and tank manufacturing sites.

TankMover™ TM48 & TM80 allows heavy vehicles to be transported without starting their engines, without a trained tank crew, and even when the vehicle is not operational.

TankMover™ is a hydraulically lifting trailer, pulled by a standard terminal tractor. It reverses underneath the tank, lifts it off the ground, and transports it. The loading process is simple and requires minimal preparation – TankMover™ can pick up a battle tank for transport in as little as 30 seconds.

The Smart Way to Move Tanks and Armored Vehicles

Simplified armored vehicle logistics

Easier transport of armored vehicles and main battle tanks across workshops, storage yards, manufacturing facilities, and ports.

Reliable handling of non-operational vehicles

Easily transport tanks and armored vehicles that are damaged, disabled, or otherwise unable to move under their own power. No towing arrangements required.

Reduced personnel requirement

Heavy vehicles can be transported without trained tank operators, making logistics operations simpler.

Safer operations

Better visibility and controlled movements throughout transport help improve safety when moving heavy armored vehicles.

Improved working conditions

Tanks can be moved without starting the vehicle's own engine, reducing exhaust fumes, especially in indoor and enclosed facilities.

Protected operating surfaces

Four axles with solid rubber tyres provide low ground pressure, helping protect pavement and ship decks during transport.
