The Hanomag heavy tractor was a pre war civil design used in agriculture. It was made for the road and lacked cross-country capabilities. Before the Second World War Hanomag named the truck ST 100 “Road Tractor” but after the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe started to use the heavy tractor it was renamed to SS 100.
The Wehrmacht used the SS 100 heavy tractor for transporting trailers with telegraph poles in field cable construction companies, for towing multi-axle trailers in depots and as heavy wheeled tractors in pioneer units. It is known that the Hanomag SS 100 pulled artillery pieces like the Flak 36, the 88 mm gun.
