The Heavy Army Recovery Vehicle (HARV), built on Oshkosh Defense’s PLS truck and trailer system, quickly and efficiently retrieves heavy armored vehicles from any tactical environment.

Incorporating the U.S. Army’s existing and proven assets of the PLS and the Tru-Hitch system, The Heavy Army Recovery Vehicle improves the Army’s recovery and maintenance capabilities without having to introduce a new vehicle platform.

Specifically engineered to address the Army’s needs in situations where self- and like-vehicle recoveries are not feasible, The HARV, with its integrated crane can overturn vehicles, perform slope recoveries and extract vehicles mired in water, mud, sand and snow. Lift and tow operations are performed by a fifth wheel device that can also be engaged into a high mobility trailer for evacuation of completely immobilized vehicles.

Engineered and designed to tow most types of armored wheeled vehicle systems and their variants, The HARV is the future of recovery for the U.S. Army.
