It is a powerful vehicle capable of towing a tank the size of the M-1A1, or the K-1 (the vehicle it is meant to recover). The K-1 ARV's winch can pull 35 tons, or tow 70 tons when the guide pulley is installed, and has 150 meters of cable. The vehicle also has an auxiliary winch with a capacity of 20 tons and 260 meters of cable. The K-1 has no turret, but has a superstructure in its place. The crane is on the right of this superstructure, has a capacity of 25 tons, has a traverse of 270 degrees, and can be raised to 70 degrees angle. The K-1 ARV has a dozer blade on the front of the vehicle for earth clearing or bracing, and can move 170 cubic meters per hour. The K-1 ARV has a 60kW auxiliary power unit that can power all machinery except the tracks. There is a platform on the rear deck that can carry an M-1 or K-1 power pack (about 5 tons). On the hull front are eight smoke grenade launchers. The K-1 ARV has a crew heater, and normally carries a tow bar and a full range of tools, ropes, cables, and excavating tools.
