Video Description

We’ve just added a Centurion Armoured Recovery Vehicle (ARV) to the collection! In this video we introduce the vehicle to the channel, show off its impressive recovery gear, and put its strength to the test. First, we demonstrate the winch by pulling a tree out of the ground with ease. Then, to really prove what this machine can do, we hook it up to two 20-ton excavators with their tracks locked… and the Centurion ARV barely breaks a sweat! This Cold War–era beast was designed to recover tanks on the battlefield, and it’s safe to say it’s still more than capable today.
