Catalogue information
This truck was put into service by the Royal Netherlands Army in the 1950s as a tank transporter for the transport of the 50-ton Centurion tank, as a replacement for the Diamond T M-20 Tank Transporter. This was mainly intended for the transport of the 30-ton M4 Sherman tank, but was too light for the Centurion tank, with a weight of approximately 50 tons. The Mighty Antar was originally developed in the late 1940's as a civilian truck for transporting pipes in the oil mining industry. Designed from the outset for rough terrain use, the vehicle has 6 x 4 drive with twin tires on both driven axles. The first version, with or without driver but without windows, was discontinued in 1961.
