Platt Swing Mount
Originally developed for the Australian Army’s ASLAV 8x8 armoured cavalry vehicle program, the Platt Swing Mount is
designed to accommodate the MAG-58/M240 7.62mm general purpose machine gun and Minimi/M249 light support
weapon. Now in service with Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia (National Guard) and the United States (Army and
Marine Corps) as well as British, Canadian, German, Iraqi and Italian ground forces, the Platt Swing Mount is the world
benchmark for vehicle-mounted manually-operated machine gun mounts.
Constructed of either stainless steel or aluminium, the Platt Swing Mount is ideal for installation on a wide variety of both
soft-skinned and armoured vehicles. The system is fitted to tracked vehicles such as the Bv-206S and M113 ACV and
wheeled vehicles such as LAVIII, Stryker, ASLAV, HMMWV, Bushmaster and a range of lightweight special operations
platforms. The Platt Swing Mount can also be adapted for use with the MG3 7.62mm medium machine gun.

feedback gathered from real combat
missions has resulted in a product that is
