The Strabokran was a portable road SEN bo ck crane that of the tank repair units of the Wehrmacht in World War II was used.
The JS Fries Sohn company in Frankfurt am Main developed the Strabokran before the war began. There were three variants, which differed in their load capacities from 15 to 16 tons and different years of construction. Around 100 units were built by the end of the war, some of them under license from the Stratenwerth company in Duisburg . Half-chain pulling machines ( Sd.Kfz. 8 or Sd.Kfz. 9 ) pulled the Strabokran in the field. It took ten soldiers about an hour to assemble the Strabo crane. Only workshop companies of the units equipped with Panther or Tiger had it.
