Safer and better Wheeled Recovery Vehicle (WRV) for the Singapore Army.
SINGAPORE - The Singapore Army unveiled a new recovery truck on Saturday with enhanced safety and efficiency features.
In comparison, its predecessor the MB 2636A Recovery Truck only had a capacity of 26 tonnes and could not recover heavier new-generation vehicles like the Terrex, which comes in several variants and can weigh up to 35 tonnes. The new truck is equipped with a rotator crane that enables its two-man crew to perform recovery operations from different angles or positions, giving them more options when in constricted spaces. The WRV is also a dual-action vehicle that can lift and winch concurrently whereas its predecessor could only do one at a time.
The crew's team leader operates a device called the Multi-Functional Controller which allows him or her to monitor all of the WRV's sub-systems in real time.
