SLT 56 Franziska

The SLT 56 is a heavy duty tractor unit and tank transporter currently in use by the German Army.

Similar to the Elefant, the SLT56 is equipped with two Rotzler winches for pulling tanks or other disabled vehicles onto the trailer.

The fenders were strengthened, the anchoring of the winch was modified, air-suspended drivers' seats were installed, and the vehicles were equipped with more storage space.

There is a reinforcement in the trailer neck, as well as new fenders in front of the shock absorbers and new spacers between the loading ramps.

This last modification lets the ramps stand straight in the up position, making loading the long MAN 10t gl truck possible.
