The WRT vehicle has been fitted with a crane capable of lifting loads of up to one tonne, pneumatic lift, tools and spare parts package, as well as diagnostic and maintenance kit for the Rosomak APC. Moreover, the equipment kit remaining at disposal of the specialized Rosomak also includes power generators (embedded and portable one), and high power lighting kit with tripods and a large tent, making it possible to carry out relevant work in harsh weather conditions.

The task given to such vehicles, manufactured by the Rosomak S.A company which is a part of the PGZ, is to provide basic assistance to the damaged platforms, through execution of the basic repairs, including replacement of tyres, welding of the damaged components of the chassis or diagnostics, related to the onboard electronics. During the MSPO two reconnaissance variants of the Rosomak vehicle have also been showcased.
