Armored Vehicle Runflat Systems: High-Payload Mobility Solutions for 4x4, 6x6 & 8x8 Fleets
Specialized armored vehicle runflat systems engineered for extreme axle loads up to 5,500 kg. Delivering continuous mobility for patrol vehicles, MRAPs, and combat logistics trucks.
Modern wheeled combat platforms face increasing gross vehicle weights due to enhanced armor kits, active protection systems, remote weapon stations (RWS), and anti-mine blast floors. High-payload armored vehicle runflat systems are the critical foundation that ensures these heavily laden platforms retain decisive maneuverability when pneumatic tires are compromised.
Axle Load Dynamics & Ground Clearance Preservation
When an armored vehicle weighing 18 to 32 metric tons suffers tire deflation, the deflated wheel station experiences massive dynamic shock loads. REPA runflats are engineered with specific radius profiles that:
- Maintain Critical Ground Clearance: Preserves differential and underbelly hull clearance, preventing the vehicle from high-centering on obstacles or ruptured tire rubber.
- Prevent Rim & Suspension Damage: Absorbs severe kinetic shocks from potholes, curbs, and rock obstacles, protecting expensive planetary hub reductions and hydraulic dampers.
- Maintain Lateral Steering Authority: Ensures the front steer axles retain precise directional control during emergency high-speed evasive maneuvers at zero tire pressure.
Fleet Fitment Across Multiple Defense Platforms
REPA engineers and manufactures custom runflat configurations for leading international wheeled armored vehicles, including Otokar Cobra II, BMC Kirpi MRAP, FNSS PARS 6x6/8x8, Oshkosh M-ATV, and General Dynamics Stryker. Learn more about our field-proven military runflat technology.
