The Ministry of National Defense has announced the supply of the first batch of “yak” equipment for the transport of tanks and heavy surveillance equipment. They are Abrams and Leopard tanks used for transportation among others.
For the first installment, four complete “yak” sets and three Jelcz tractor units were provided. Each package includes an armored vehicle with a Jelcz 882.62 8×8 truck tractor (Step 2 / 2A according to STANAG 4569) and a multi-axle low-loader ST775-20W semi-trailer. They are adapted for ground transport of heavy military equipment, including tanks and heavy surveillance equipment weighing up to 70 tons (up to a total of 130 tons set up), as well as carrying standard ISO containers in a semi-trailer. They enable the transportation of heavy combat technology technology-related tasks during peacetime, as part of combat operations, and in difficult field conditions.

They will play a key role in regulating heavy technology transport using the road network, and when moving military equipment out of the country. The Jelcz 882.62 tractors and ST775-20W multi-axle semi-trailers provide access to high-speed makeshift ramps and reloading yards, as well as loading / unloading loads in a semi-trailer using winches and tools in the kit.
Equipment for tractors (winches) and semi-trailers (curves) allows for loading and unloading of equipment carried under field conditions without the need to use prefabricated loading curves. The set is designed to accommodate rail, sea and air transport. It should be noted that the set has magnified dimensions, including width from the roadway view.
