The LEGUAN tracked vehicle
The LEGUAN bridge-laying tank can configure one 26 meter or two 14 meter bridges with a load rating of class MLC 80. The fully automatic laying system enables bridges to be constructed or reloaded in approximately five minutes by a single person. During the process, the low silhouette remains preserved.

The following tracked vehicles have been fitted with the LEGUAN bridge system:

• M1A1/A2 ‚Wolverine‘ Heavy Assault Bridge (HAB) for the US Armed Forces
• Leopard 1 for the Norwegian, Belgian, Chilean and Greek Armed Forces
• Leopard 2 for the Finnish Armed Forces
• M60/M47 for the Spanish Armed Forces
• PT91/T72 for the Malaysian Armed Forces

The LEGUAN bridge system as floating bridge and ferry
Using additional pontoons and hydraulically operated ramps, the LEGUAN bridge can also be used for the building of ferries.  The tank-launched assault bridge slides the unassembled bridge over the pontoons, to which the bridge is then fastened. The integrated water jet drives also provide for the highest maneuverability in shallow waters. Further, the ferry can be driven over hydraulically adjustable ramps, which are attached at the ends of the bridge. Even floating bridges can be mounted quickly with the LEGUAN system: several ferries can simply be coupled together and continuously driven upon.

Internationally operated bridge system
KMW created the LEGUAN tank-launched assault bridge system for the Norwegian, Greek, Belgian and Finnish armed forces on the basis of the LEOPARD 1 or LEOPARD 2 MBT. In addition, the LEGUAN system can also be built on other new or used tank platforms. It is currently in use on the Polish T91 as well as on the U.S. M1 WOLVERINE and the M47/M60. Additionally, the bridge laying system can be carried by wheeled vehicles such as the MAN 8x8 or the SISU 10x10. With additional pontoons, the LEGUAN bridge can construct ferries of variable load classes.
