This is based on the chassis of the Type 69 MBT and is designed not only to recover this and other vehicles on the battlefield but also to undertake major repairs such as changing complete power packs, clearing obstacles and preparing fire positions. Standard equipment includes a front-mounted hydraulically operated dozer blade, a hydraulic crane on the right side of the hull, a main winch with a capacity of 70 tonnes, auxiliary winch, tools, towbars and cables. In addition to being used by the Chinese Army, small quantities of these have been sold to Bangladesh, Iraq, Pakistan and Thailand as part of the Type 69 MBT sale.
