Anybody have info on the all up weight for the Kriegsmarine's EMC naval mine .... base, cable, ka-boomy part? Only specs I've found are for the charge. I am doing a feasibility study for a truck transporting mines to a ship.

You might expand your search pattern to "EMC Seemine" or "EMC Ankertaumine". Found a review of the ASFV Club that states that the mine is small in diameter. The original mine was 1,12 meter is diameter. This makes 32mm in scale. The kit mine is only 25mm.

EMC Ankertauminme had a total weight of 1135 kg.

Well .... so much for THAT idea .....

Looks like 4 in a 5 tonner , 2 in a 3 tonner. But seeing the AFV Club mines are way off scale guess it's a moot point.

Schatton Modellbnau does correct German naval mines and other Navy ammo. Look for No.3546.

Here is the review on IPMS Deutschland site.

Sometimes the mines are loaded in separate pieces ( anchor box, head). Perhaps you can separate them and load the truck.

Regarding the dimensions, there is a possibility that the reviewer has measured a different version of the mine head. One was 250 kgs and there was a head of 280 kgs. Further research needs to be done...

This Schatton mine is not a german sea mine! This type of mine (08/39) is from russian origin, found in polish arsenals and used by Kriegsmarine until 1941. You can find it on german S-boats (type S-38) but never on S-100 boats.
So be careful of the year, your lorry/diorama is placed in!
