DSB’s 120 tons
The DSBs are transported and
launched from a Rheinmetall
MAN Military Vehicles 10x1chassis, which is fitted with a
fully protected forward control
cab, and can be launched by just
eight personnel in 90 minutes.
Prior to delivery to Australia, the
DSBs, which are capable of taking
vehicles weighing more than
120 tonnes, were put through
extensive trials at the Millbrook
Proving Ground in the UK to
verify both their road and off-
road capability.
The MGBs being supplied are
of the link-reinforced version,
which can span a gap of up to
49m, which will be supplemented
by portable pier and span
equipment that will allow bridges
of up to 76m to be constructed.
