The MZKT-74135 is an all-terrain armored transporter with the wheel formula 8 × 8, which is unique in the world in terms of motorization and design. The truck is offered with two trailers that are coupled one behind the other and pulled by the tractor unit. These are the MZKT-99942 semi-trailer (payload 70 tonnes) and the MZKT-83721 trailer (payload 60 tonnes). In this way, a total of 130 tons can be transported, that is a battle tanks and two armored personnel / personnel carriers and two battle tanks.

The first prototype of this tank transporter was presented in 1997. In 2000, a modernized version was built, which was specially developed to participate in a tender by the armed forces of the United Arab Emirates for a heavy-duty transporter for Leclerc tanks (weight approx. 56 tons). The MZKT-74135 eventually won this tender and 40 of these heavy-duty transporters and their trailers were ordered.

The cabin of the armored transporter offers space for the driver and eight other people. So the vehicle can carry some crew members of the transported vehicles. Alternatively, the seating arrangement can be converted into four seats and two beds. For recovery and loading, the MZKT-74135 has a double rope winch from ITAG with a pulling force of 250 kN per drum.
