Sliding Type HZT Armored Vehicle Launched Bridge

2. Detailed Product Introduction

2.1 Core Value: Solving Armored Unit Obstacle-Crossing Pain Points

• Rapid Tactical Mobility: Cuts bridge erection/retrieval to 10 minutes (plus 5-minute preparation time), ensuring armored units (tanks, artillery) do not face prolonged delays when crossing trenches—critical for seizing combat opportunities or retreating under pressure.

• Armored Protection Safety: Built on an armored vehicle chassis, it shields operators and the bridging system from small arms fire, shrapnel, and debris in combat zones—far safer than unarmored bridging equipment.

• Heavy Armor Compatibility: Boasts an MLC70 bridge loading capacity, supporting the weight of main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery, and heavy engineering machinery—fully matching the load requirements of frontline armored units.

• Low Manpower Dependency: Only 2 operators (including the driver) are needed to complete the entire preparation, erection, and retrieval process, reducing the number of personnel exposed to enemy threats.

2.2 Key Features

• Sliding-Type Bridge Deployment: Adopts a sliding mechanism for bridge launching/retrieval— the bridge is smoothly extended or retracted from the armored chassis, eliminating the need for complex folding structures and ensuring reliable operation even in rough terrain.

• Consistent High Performance Across Variants: Both HZT24B variants share core capabilities: 55t combat weight, 60km/h maximum speed, 400km maximum mileage, ±2m allowable height difference, and -20℃~+55℃ working temperature range—ensuring stable performance in diverse combat environments (cold, hot, uneven terrain).

• Variant-Specific Passage Adaptability:

  • HZT24B (4m Bridge Width): Optimized for standard armored vehicles, balancing passage space and chassis compactness for narrow combat corridors.

  • HZT24B (4.5m Bridge Width): Features a wider bridge deck to accommodate larger armored equipment or dual-lane passage of smaller vehicles, enhancing flexibility in heavy armor formations.

  
  

• All-Terrain Mobility: With a 22° approach/departure angle, it navigates rough combat terrain (e.g., muddy fields, rocky ground) to reach trench sites, while its 400km maximum mileage supports long-distance 伴随 (accompanying) of armored columns.

• Wide Temperature Adaptability: Operates reliably between -20℃ and +55℃, adapting to extreme climates from cold high-altitude battlefields to hot desert combat zones—no need for additional climate modification equipment.

2.4 Application Scenarios

• Armored Unit Offensive Operations: Accompanies tank and artillery formations, quickly bridging trenches dug by enemy forces to ensure the offensive momentum is not halted—critical for breaking through defensive lines.

• Defensive Position Reinforcement: Helps armored units cross their own trenches or anti-tank ditches when repositioning reinforcements, strengthening defensive flexibility and response speed.

• Urban Combat Obstacle-Crossing: In urban warfare, it bridges collapsed road sections or enemy-built trench barriers, enabling armored vehicles to enter or exit urban areas without being trapped by street obstacles.

• Military Training Exercises: Used in armored force training to simulate real combat trench-crossing scenarios, helping operators master fast bridge deployment/retrieval and coordinate with tank units.

• Post-War Battlefield Clearance: Assists engineering units in crossing trench obstacles during battlefield cleanup, enabling heavy equipment (e.g., mine-clearing vehicles, debris loaders) to access and restore combat zones.
