The eighteen wheels of the BRV and trailer disperse the weight more evenly across a road surface, allowing 'Mechs to be shipped across a planet. ==Weapons and Equipment== As a general rule BattleMech Recovery Vehicles do not appear on an active battlefield. Instead they arrive after the conflict has ended and the Techs are ready to start repairs. Since they are not involved in combat they do not need weapons. Whatever armor they carry is used not to deflect weapon fire, but to protect from the everyday bumps and scrapes of working in a repair facility. ==Variants== *;Heavy BattleMech Recovery Vehicle : Weighing in at 70 tons, this larger version of the standard BRV can winch and haul up to a 100-ton BattleMech. Though it can carry nearly twice as much weight as the standard BRV, the Heavy version is equipped with a smaller engine. As a result, carrying any 'Mech heavier than 30 tons will slow it to a crawl (32 km/h).<ref>''Technical Readout: 3060'', p. 8</ref> Since the crew is more likely to come under fire, the Heavy BRV carries five times as much armor as its smaller sibling.
