"notes": "The most distinguishing feature of the 2A36 is its lower carriage. The large system weight required the use of tandem “walking-beam” axles and four wheels to provide mobility. A hydraulically powered firing pedestal is mounted on the front of the lower carriage and serves as part of the travel lock (similar to the D-20). Although the trails do not have the folding summer spades of the D-20, they do have two large spades similar to those found on the M-46/M-47. The weight of the 2A36 normally requires it to be towed by a heavy truck (like the KRAZ-255B). The KRAZ-255B is equipped with a special winch used to lift the trails in order to attach the gun’s lunette to the towing pintle.",
