The Scammell Commander heavy tank transporter had its origins in a
British Army requirement that envisaged main battle tanks weighing well
over 60 tones. It was originally developed to replace the old
Thornycroft Antars tank transporters. Development of the Commander
transporter began in 1976 but due to defense spending delays the
production of a batch of 125 units for the British Army did not began
until 1983. The British Army used it to tow Challenger 1 and Challenger 2
main battle tanks.
Designed to tow loads up to 65 tones, the Commander tows a special
semi-trailer onto which tanks can be tail-loaded using a hydraulic 20
tone capacity winch.
In 1990 during the operation Desert Storm 70 Scammell Commander
heavy tank transporters were used to transport 40 types of various
military cargo. Each of the vehicles was on the road 17 hours a day
during 4 months period. On average each vehicle traveled 270 km a day on
the desert roads.
Most of the 125 British Army Commanders were based in Belgium and Germany with only a few located in the United Kingdom. The Scammell Commander is now obsolete and was replaced by the American Oshkosh 1070F heavy equipment transporter.
