This is a list of the principal optional equipment available for the Supacat 6x6 vehicle. In some cases these items are not dedicated to the Supacat 6x6 and can be supplied for other vehicles.
If your requirement varies from what is listed please contact Supacat Ltd. as we are always pleased to consider specialist design and manufacture or procurement of specific equipment.
This includes an electric winch of about 8000 pounds (3500 Kgs.) bare drum pull capacity and the following other fitments:
A useful addition to the winch kit (supplied separately) is the Intervehicle Power Cable, a heavy duty independent cable that plugs into the winch and vehicle power source to enable the winch to be fitted and operated from the Supacat's front or rear lifting/towing eyes. It can also be used between vehicles fitted with suitable plugs for intervehicle power transfer (jump starting).
Initially designed to enable the Supacat to be able to self load pallets or similar items in conjunction with the winch. They can also enable a Supacat to self stack one on another for air or surface transport. The two ramps are stowed under the Supacat's `wings'. Ramps have many other uses. They can be used as bridges and ramps for obstacle crossing as well as for recovery operations. Ramps and winch will in many cases enable a Supacat to self recover if it becomes necessary. The ramps have recently be redesigned and are now stronger, incorporate handles at both ends, and have non slip surfaces.
Two are fitted into the hull of the Supacat and are essential if the vehicle is to be used for amphibious operations. Also useful on open vehicles to pump out after washing or rain.
The Supacat is not fitted with a spare as standard as it can manage quite well with one or more flat tyres. However a punctured tyre must eventually be replaced.
Spare wheel assembly complete with inner tube.
The Supacat tyres are normally tubeless but tubes may be fitted to suit operational requirements. Tubes are advisable if very low inflation pressures are to be used and operating conditions will be rough. Tyres at low pressure can be forced off of the rims causing deflation. Puncture repairs are easier with tubes.
The standard towing attachment for NATO forces vehicles and is used in conjunction with the heavy duty tailgate.
Two pin auxiliary power source and plug. Dash mounted for auxiliary electrical equipment, radios etc.
Standard 7 pin fitting and wiring.
Standard NATO 12 pin trailer fitting and wiring. Includes wiring for FLPT operation in conjunction with FLPT Operating kit.

Essential item when operating off road.
Designed to contain a standard jerrycan for water or additional fuel. These can be fitted to the load restraint frame ( standard fit ) or front side panels of the Supacat.
Complete Equipment Schedule. This kit was evolved for the British Army Supacats that went out to the Gulf war and is now standard ATMP issue. Contained in a special canvas bag (see below) the kit contains over twenty items including KERRS rope, tools, air pump, first aid kit and load tiedowns with room for additional components if required. Two basic kits are available UK MOD `Supacat ATMP' kit and a civilianised version of it. The kit can be compiled to suit customer requirements.
Based upon the CES Kit this kit in conjunction with the tool kit offers a comprehensive service and `survival' kit for the Supacat. Probably essential for vehicles operating in difficult situations and away from base or assistance. (See list).
The kit offers a set of tools with some special to the Supacat. Supplied in two specially designed tool rolls that can be fitted to the Supacat. (See list).
For military use these replace the two rear number plate lights and the switch isolates ALL other lights on the vehicle.
This covers the rear well of a Supacat to make a flat load platform leaving a protected load space beneath. It is secured by the tailgate. The cover may be fitted into the well to form its floor if it is not being used. This will also protect the well floor from damage. The Well Deck should be fitted if the top weapon mount is to be used to provide a level standing and operating space.
Supplied as a separate item to supply electrical power to the winch if used in the front or rear position, it doubles as an electrical `jump lead' between Supacats or other vehicles with suitable plugs.
Canvas cover recommended for open Supacats that have to live outside in poor weather conditions - particularly snow. Provides protection for the front half of the vehicle.
This is a steel framed canvas clad body with glass front screens, doors and is supplied complete with wipers and washers as well as a heater / demister.

These are fitted around the standard wheels and tyres and are used for operations in soft snow and very boggy ground conditions. Made from rubber belting and joined by a pin they can be fitted in about 30 minutes. Increased tyre pressure is used to tension the tracks. The Ackerman steering is locked and the Supacat is steered by it's brakes. The Supacat can swim with tracks on.
Supacats can be fitted with tyre self sealant.
`Snow Chains' for increased traction on smooth and slippery surfaces.
An inner rubberised layer to protect the inner tube under the tyre tread area from penetration punctures.
A device that is inflated by the exhaust and can lift the vehicle. Particularly useful in soft ground conditions as a recovery aid as well as being used as a conventional jack.
Recovery, a specialist KERRS rope initially developed for armoured vehicle recovery. This 24mm x 8m rope is `balanced' to the power and weight of the Supacat for ultimate performance. It enables a Supacat to recover other vehicles from very difficult situations, quickly. Always part of our demonstration equipment.
Tow, is a short 2.2m rope with looped ends used for towing as well as a winch anchor rope. Useful to centralise front pulling operations with the Supacat.
