M32A1B3 Tank Recovery Vehicle

The M32A1B3 was developed as a Tank Recovery Vehicle (TRV) based on the M4A3E8 Sherman hull with HVSS suspension. The standard turret and 75mm gun was replaced with a fixed turret and 81mm mortar which could fire smoke shells. A pivoting A-frame jib was mounted on the hull with a 60,000lb winch. The M32A1B3 remained in service post WWII most notably with the Israeli army.
