Re: ► Photothread: German Cranes, Wreckers, Field Modifications
Hi George,
Great find! These are not cranes but Infantry Assault Bridges built by Magirus and based on the Panzer IV chassis. The one closest to the camera appears to be missing a couple of wheels. Two were extended side by side to act as support beams for a walkway.
Edit: The one in the background is a Magirus Brückenleger IV.

Thanks for posting that fine photo. It is an Infanterie Sturmsteg auf Fahrgestell Pzkpfw IV, an assault bridge on a Pz IV chassis extendable to 50m. Two normally operated side by side to form the support beams for a personnel bridge. They were built by Magirus in 1940.
Cheers,
Max
