The IDF is expected to make a decision in the coming months regarding the logistical cart developed by Urdan and adapted for the Merkava Namer APC. The company’s logistical cart entered operational use in the IDF over a year ago, however the adjustments made for the Namer are presently still in the testing phases.
Unlike the tank, the Namer has a rear door and thus several adjustments were necessary for the cart and its connections, so that it could be easily connected and detached without interfering with force activity. The uniqueness of this cart is in its navigability. It can cross any contour or course that the tank or APC passes through, can climb up slopes and inclined areas, pass between rocks and more.
Existing logistic carts mostly require that special axis be opened so that it will be suitable for the passage of trucks and will be protected. The cart can carry up to eight tons of cargo, its width is two meters and it is four meters high. Urdan is currently negotiating with global elements concerning supplying the cart to foreign militaries and forces.
