Track toolbox

To the home page

Every Tiger had a toolbox containing items for maintenance of the tracks. This box was stored in various places inside or outside the tank, depending on its version; Tiger "131" kept it in a dedicated skeleton frame welded to the rear wall.

Modern toolbox on 131

The toolbox that you see on Tiger 131 nowadays, is not an original wartime box. Although very similar, it has a different appearance, especially in that its latches are not the standard German ones.
