The Lark weighs 100 tons and can carry 100 tons. There were 2 cranes: one 350 ton crane and a 200 ton crane to lift the lark. The transaction costed 11.000.00 usd.

The reason why we did not "drive" the lark in the water was, because in Gulfport, Mississippi the water access is not favourable for a heavy machine like this. Even though the tires are 12 feet tall, they could get damaged by sharp object while driving into the outlet.

thanks for posting the question.

After watching this vid...I noticed the number on the side....This was the SAME Larc that I was on in the Army. WOW that is cool!!! Each Larc is numbered, this one is 20. The LX stands for 60....this is a Larc 60, as opposed to a Larc 5 or 10 or any of the other Larcs made. The LX is the largest.

@pclarky It's not for driving on streets, it's for making landfall on shore and driving it up onto harder and better land so that the equipment can be unloaded and not sink into the soft land of the shore.

@xSeren69x - 'Chief Engineer'? Forgive my ignorance but I thought they just had a crew of 2 - Commander and Driver. (Plus the fact that it's not actually a boat!)

Who pays ?

This would be great to have in a crowd of zombies!

[alexrascon1]

where is it going? XD

[xSeren69x]

This is MY old boat. I was the Chief Engineer of that boat when I was in the Army at Fort Story, VA. Kind of cool to see her again.

Enorme o veícuilo. Se o mesmo pudesse voar, daria conta do recado de muitas cargas como: escavadeiras gigantes e peças indívisíveis.

[fagerstrom84]

wait if its made for water too why didnt they just move it through water instead of all this road???

[pclarky]

amazing vechile, but somehow don't get it. If its so big, doesn't fit down a street, where the hell is it going to go. Hopefully thirdworld countries have 5 lane roads. Can someone explain the point to it.
