Armoured Recovery Vehicles (ARVs) were introduced during the Second World War. They were built on the hull of existing armoured vehicles, removing the main armament and turret and installing specific equipment for the recovery or repair of armoured fighting vehicles damaged in combat. The American M-32 ARV was based on the chassis of the famous Sherman A-4 medium tank and was used by the US Army in the European theatre of operations during World War II. It was characterised by a superstructure that allowed damaged tanks to be lifted and towed. In addition, the M-32 carried a wide range of repair tools and spare parts, underlining its role as a true 'mobile armoured workshop' capable of operating on the front line. The M-32 was even capable of performing complex operations such as replacing the tank engine. The M-32, after the end of the Second World War, served in the US Army during the Korean War and was used by many countries until the 1990s.

The Belgian army used it in its armoured units. It was replaced by the BERGPANZER LEOPARD in 1967.
