Leguan Equipped with Two 14-Meter Bridges

Released on Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Using an electronic control system, the LEGUAN armoured bridge-layer from Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW) lays a bridge, load category MLC 80 and 26 metres in length, in just five minutes. Even in the dark and with the hatches closed, the bridge system can be operated by a single person. In place of the 26-metre bridge, the LEGUAN can now for the first time also lay two bridges, each 14 metres in length, as a result of which the possible applications of the LEGUAN are considerably extended off road. At the same time the system with its 1,500 PS engine is extremely mobile, despite its weight of 62.6 tonnes (LEOPARD 2), so it meets all the requirements for international deployments, including anti-mine protection.
