The only armament was a single 12.7 mm Browning M2HB on a ring mount above the main cabin. The M26 Armored Tank Transporter was designed for the purpose of recovering damaged M4 Sherman tanks and so it was fitted with dual winches. There was also a winch in the front of the cabin. Armor thickness varied between 6 mm in the sides to 19 mm in the front.
