The Rotinoff Super Atlantic is a 6x4 tractor from the British manufacturer Rotinoff Motors .
In 1958 the Swiss Army procured ten vehicles, plus low-bed trailers from Scheuerle Fahrzeugfabrik with a payload capacity of 50 tons each. These were used to transport the 55/57 Centurion Mk. 5 and Mk. 7 tanks . This brought the total weight of the truck to 104 tons.
The Rotinoff Super Atlantic has a fuel supply of 580 liters in two tanks. In addition to the three places in the cabin, there are two standing places outside for traffic control. One vehicle is now in the Swiss Military Museum Full and at the HAM Foundation in Burgdorf.
