Product Details

The Type 91 Armoured Vehicle-Launched Bridge (AVLB) is based on the Type 74 Main Battle Tank chassis. It carries a folding metal bridge instead of weapons. The AVLB's job is to allow armoured or infantry units to cross craters, anti-tank ditches, blown bridges, railroad cuts, canals, rivers and ravines), when a river too deep for vehicles to wade through is reached, and no bridge is conveniently located (or sufficiently sturdy, a substantial concern when moving 60-ton tanks).
