Mobility
 

The acronym rolls off the tongue. But it’s a concise description of what this vehicle does - All Terrain Mobility Articulated Transport. In an ATMAT, you won’t get stuck. It’s built to give a traversability close to tracked vehicles. In fact, it’s been used as a support vehicle for MBTs.

Steering
 

Strong, accurate steering is a key requirement for following your unit and tracked vehicles on a mission. Volvo’s system is strong on rough ground, delivering high steering force at low revs in environments like deep mud. Hydraulic damping prevents any jolts and shocks from being transferred to the driver. The system also provides great accuracy and stability when travelling fast on good roads.

Rotating hitch
Built for any environment - snow and ice, deserts, tropical regions, and anything in between. Each comes with its own type of rough terrain. None pose a problem, thanks to the rotating frame hitch that the ATMAT is built around. It reduces stress on the structure. It provides a solid boost to the suspension by keeping the wheels in contact with all terrains. And it’s positioned high - next to the centre of gravity of the vehicle’s load, for good stability and ground clearance.

Tyres
High diameter tyres give a long footprint, essential for good speeds on undulating terrain. Wide tyres provide great stability and low ground pressure for softer surfaces. The ATMAT can also be equipped with solutions for running on flat tyres. The rims, hubs and axles are extremely heavy-duty - which, along with high ground clearance, also helps protect personnel from IEDs.

Handling heavy loads

A transport vehicle is nothing without a great load capability. ATMAT delivers. These vehicles are capable of carrying between 24 and 39 tonnes.Furthermore, the HAMMAR 190 is equipped with a sideloader that can handle heavy loads with ease. Extendable legs mean that there’s no need for counterweights: your loading task can be accomplished in the tightest spaces and most difficult situations. And with a lifting cycle of just 3.5 minutes, there’s no time cost to your operation.
