Abstract
A motorized breakdown vehicle for an armored vehicle such as a tank includes a chassis that supports a platform having a gangway and a ladder for climbing to the platform. The ladder and gangway are hinged to the platform around a common hinge pin and are selectively connected to one another by a releasable locking structure such that the gangway and the ladder are integral with one another during transport and are independently maneuverable during maintenance.
