The Al-Hadeed is based on HIT's Talha, a 6 road wheel armoured personnel carrier (APC). On the roof is a hydraulic crane with telescopic jib and lifting capacity of 3 tonnes at 2.2 m. It is articulated to allow 360 degree rotation. A hydraulic winch with towing capacity of 20 tonnes and cable length of 130 m is present, as well as hydraulic out-riggers for stability. The vehicle can also be fitted with NBC protection, smoke grenade launchers and night vision equipment.
