utt61 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the Unipwer TBT currently in service with the British army? I don't know when they'll be withdrawn from service or what will happen to them when they are, but I would love to acquire one. I suspect that it is well overwidth for civvy operation though. Realistically I doubt that there'll be much chance to get one's hands on one anyway, but it's a nice dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protruck Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi utt61. The TBT's are currently having some armour updates put on for Afganistan. I personaly can't see these coming out in the near future as the MOD are very impressed with them, and they have not had their first major overhaul yet. So it could be some time before they come out into the public sector. I'll have a look at the build sheets to find out the vehicle width for you but as you say they are over 2.5m wide. I will post it here. Clive ..................................... protruckservices.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
protruck Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Hi utt61. All of the Unipower Br90's are 3 meters wide to the outside of the rear wings, not including the mirrors. The ABLE, BV, & TBT have all different wheel bases. The TBT has a 6.5m wheel base from the centre of the rear axle bogie to the centre of the second steer drive axle. I'll look for the overall chassis lenght but if my memory serves me correctly it is 12 m long without any bridge, which has nearly a 3m over hange from the back of the chassis. When I can get time I will load some photos of the first TBT being tested and some of it being tilt tested to 32 degs at the MOD test track.
