Comments: - - Great, I liked these devices very much, was once a deportation officer as a lieutenant, 15 SLT 50-2 were to be led, with the self-proclaimed "kings" of Landstr. Was also a pleasure. Only that people stay calm, with children, with all the particles, ... .
Hear that turbocharger wind up. The driver is Experten. The Leopard 2 A6 is the best in the world. It is all business. It is screaming "LET"S GET IT ON"
The heavy transporter Franziska belongs to the 3rd generation of the Bundeswehr and expands its ability to transport extra heavy tanks. Although externally similar to the SLT 50, the STL56 is actually a standalone and completely newly developed tool. The best way to distinguish the SLT56 from the Elefant is the tandem lights that the SLT56 carries on the front bumper, while the Elefant only has single lights. Technically, they differ in drivetrain and engine. The trailer is different, as is the configuration of the winches and boxes. Similar to the Elefant, the SLT56 is equipped with two Rotzler winches to tow tanks or other disabled vehicles onto the trailer. The trailer's platform measures 8.9 m x 3.15 m, the weight is distributed over 24 wheels, two per short axle, six of each axle (the front two are steerable).
In 1993 the SLT56 was replaced due to experience gained while deploying in Somalia with the UN. The fenders have been strengthened, the winch anchor has been replaced, air suspension driver seats have been fitted, and the vehicles have been given more storage space.
The SLT56 was used in conjunction with old (Elefant's) trailers when deployed in Somalia. This means that the new trailer was never used in the white BM paint scheme.
