Hi.
In 1934 the type 94 heavy trailer was introduced.
On the rear two fixed tracks were used. The two frontal tracks were mounted turnable for steering. Both track systems were not propelled.
Special superstructures for the gun loads were also introduced allowing a ballanced transport of the heavy parts. A crane could be mounted on the frontal part.
Due to the massive tracks the type 92 prime mover was only able to tow empty trailers. In 1935 the type 95 13t prime movers were introduced. These heavy vehicles were able to tow the fully loaded trailers (32 t maximum weight) on roads with a maximum speed of 15 km/h. For cross-country transport two prime movers had to be used but due to the tracks the cross-country abilities were good enough to use the guns in the field.
Yours
tom!
