The LAV-R featured a 6600lb (3000kg) hydraulic crane in the center of the vehicle with 360° traverse and a 30,000lb (13,600kg) winch at the rear. The rear compartment had a raised roof and was fitted with a workbench, lights, and welding equipment. The roof was only taller for about the last third of the vehicle, in contrast with the LAV-L and LAV-C2. Like those vehicles, however, the rear doors overlapped for unfettered access to the rear compartment. Outriggers were mounted on the sides for use when the crane was operating, and spades were carried for winching. The machine gun was mounted at the commander's station, and the smoke grenade launchers were mounted at the front of the raised roof.
The LAV-R underwent upgrades to -A1 and -A2 standard like the LAV-25.
