Design
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.

Famous quotes containing the word design:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The reason American cars don’t sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That’s why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire.”
—Karl Lagerfeld (b. 1938)
“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life ... for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
