The field handling device produced by the Steinbock company, or FUG for short, was put into service by the logistics associations of the German armed forces as early as 1983. The vehicle is used wherever supplies have to be handled. No matter whether from rail to road, in the depot or in the material warehouse. Because of its four-wheel drive and the possibility of levelling, the FUG 2.5t has excellent off-road capability and is therefore suitable for transporting supplies even on light to medium terrain. The FUG 2.5t is popular with the troops because it can also be used or converted for other work. For example, it can also be used to clear snow. The forks can be exchanged for attachments such as a clearing blade or a crane arm in just a few simple steps.
