Hi all,

Just stumbled upon some photos of a Danish M113 fitter in Iraq, the vehicle doesn't have the standard crane seen in the Academy kit or Verlinden conversion.

Flickr photo set.

I'm looking for more photographs, especially detail pics of the crane and hopefully drawings or dimensions/specifications for the crane itself?

Thank you for your help!

Cheers,


Christophe

On www.armyvehicles.dk it mentions that it is now a Danish HMF K1 crane instead of the previous Hydrauliska Industri AB (HIAB). Good hunting.

Here you'll find the HMF cranes specs :

Here's a Lithuanian M113 fitted with the same crane :
