bullet Mine Clearance WG100 Vehicle

WG100 FrontThe WG100 is a lightweight machine designed around a well proven tractor fitted with 10mm armour for driver protection and 6mm armour for tractor protection.

It has a 200 power train, a 4 wheel drive front wheel steer with foam filled tyres, a road speed of 40 kph and creep gearbox is incorporated into the system for the most difficult driving conditions and comes complete with a 16 x 16 electro shift for fast and easy gear changes. The WG100 can climb and flail slopes of 45 degrees and clear flat areas at a rate of 1600 square metres per hour.

The Flail system has a 2.5 metre cut and an overall width of 3.2 metres, the flail can be carried at full road speed on smooth services or detached from the tractor within 15 minutes, the Flail rotors are designed to withstand prom and anti tank mines and have a rotation speed of 350 rpm.

The tractor is fitted with a winch to enable self recovery without the need for support vehicles, this winch can also be used to recover other vehicles.

The WG100 has a PTO shaft and a 3 point linkage at the front and rear.

The mine sift and separation system can be fitted to the rear of the tractor, and any other equipment designed to be driven by a PTO shaft can be fitted e.g. portable welders, electrical generating plants etc.

The WG100 has already proven itself in Bosnia, Kosovo, Lebanon, Northern Iraq and many other locations worldwide, where its exceptional manoeuvrability and ease of transportation has made it a very successful.
