The Scammell Commander heavy tank transporter has its origins in the British Army's requirements for main battle tanks weighing more than 60 tonnes. It was originally designed to replace the old Thornycroft Antars tank transporters. Development of the Commander transporter began in 1976, but due to delays in defense spending, production of a batch of 125 units for the British Army did not begin until 1983. The British Army used it to tow the Challenger 1 and Challenger 2 main battle tanks.
Designed to tow loads weighing up to 65 tons, the Commander tows a special semi-trailer that can be loaded with tanks using a 20-ton hydraulic winch.
