Brückenlegepanzer 68/88

Notes: This Swiss AVLB is based on the Pz-68 tank. The turret is removed and replaced with a single-span bridge and laying machinery. The bridge has a weight of 9.8 tons, has a length of 18.23 meters, and can carry 60 tons in an emergency, though Swiss regulations normally limit the load carried to 50 tons. The laying and recovery is fully automatic once started and can be done without the crew leaving the vehicle. The bridge takes 2 minutes to lay and 5 minutes to recover.
