Schwerer Zugkraftwagen Sd.Kfz. 9/1 w/ 6t Bilstein Crane

The Schwerer Zugkraftwagen Sd.Kfz. 9/1, also known as “Famo”, was Germany’s heaviest half-track vehicle that saw widespread use by the Wehrmacht in World War II. Primarily developed for towing heavy guns and recovering vehicles, the Sd.Kfz.9 was used on all fronts during the Second World War until the very end.

With over 2,500 vehicles manufactured, the Schwerer Zugkraftwagen 9/1, with its new upper body, fulfilled its various roles on the battlefield to hoist heavy machinery and battle tanks’ engines maintenance. Equipped with a 6 tons capacity lift, the 9/1 half-track would require the deployment of stabilizing arms before operations.
