862 Jelcz – This is the big broth of the family. It can either mount a rear Demountable Rack Offload & Pickup System which is a retractable hydraulic arm that pulls a flatrack or container on to the chassis or instead it can mount a hydraulic jointed arm capable of offloading and lifting objects about. This capability means the vehicle is not only used logistically, but also by engineers.
