Advantages of MV-4

Design

The MV-4 was designed to perform only one task - demining. It is not a modified construction machine or tank. The MV-4 is the 5th model in the MV series of mine clearance systems. To date, over 35 million square meters of mine polluted terrain have been mechanically cleared by DOK-ING systems. 

Productivity

Because of its small dimensions, very good maneuverability, high engine power, and low track-ground pressure, the MV-4 can work year round in almost all conditions. The clearing productivity is up to 2200 m² per hour.

Mobility & maneuverability

The MV-4's small dimensions and low track-ground pressure allow the machine to pass over difficult terrain such as ditches, urban areas, canals, etc.
MV-4 can drive and work on highly inclined terrain both transversely and longitudinally:

clearing of transverse slopes of 35° up and downdriving on transversal slopes of 45° up and down clearing longitudinal slopes of 20°driving on longitudinal slopes of 35°

MV-4 can clear very close to obstacles such as buildings and other structures both when moving in parallel (25 cm) and perpendicular direction (75 cm).
The working tool can be raised, lowered, extended and retracted to enable the system to navigate over difficult terrain such as ditches, obstacles, canals, etc.
MV-4 can drive through water to a depth of 45 cm without any special actions taken by the operator and can turn 360° on a single point.
The MV-4 is also able to pass over a ditch 0.5 m wide and 0.3 m deep, and vertical obstacles of about 0.3 m in height. MV-4 drives both in transversal and lateral inclinations. It is also able to perform self-recovery from a ditch/channel by using its hydraulic arms (extend/retract positions).

Protection

The MV-4 is provided with the HARDOX steel plates. The MV-4 is highly resistant to the fragmentation of landmines, and it's low profile reduces its susceptibility to shrapnel damage.

Ability to withstand at mine detonation

Although the MV-4 is primarily designed for clearance of Anti-Personnel mines, there is always a possibility of encountering Anti-Tank mines during its operation.
The MV-4 strongest ability to withstand Anti-Tank mine detonations has been proved at the Swedish EOD and Demining Center (SWEDEC) in July 2004.
