===AMX-30H – ''Poseur de pont''===
The ''AMX-30H bridgelayer'', or ''Poseur de pont'', consists of the AMX-30's chassis with a box-like superstructure, supporting a scissor-type folding bridge. The {{convert|22|m|yd|sp=us|adj=mid|-long}} bridge can span {{convert|20|m|yd|sp=us|adj=on}} gaps. The bridge has a width of {{convert|3.1|m|yd|sp=us}}, but can be increased to {{convert|3.95|m|yd|sp=us}} through the use of appliqué panels. It can support weighs of up to {{convert|46|MT|ST|sp=us}}.<ref>Ogorkiewicz, pp. 16–18</ref> Bridgelayer development began as early as 1963, although it was not until June 1967 that development began on a prototype. Although a prototype designated ''AMX-30H'' was finished in 1968, it was not until 1971 that the vehicle was evaluated. At the end of the evaluations in September 1971, a pre-series of five vehicles was ordered, resulting in a new period of evaluations beginning on 16 October 1972. In 1975, the AMX-30H was declared standard in the French Army, although none of these vehicles were ever ordered.<ref>de Mazarrasa (1990), pp. 37–38</ref> 12 vehicles were purchased by the Saudi Arabian Army.<ref>[https://tanknutdave.com/the-french-amx-30-series/ AMX-30H AVLB]</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/france/amx-30.php|title=The AMX-30H AVLB Bridgelayer|date=July 15, 2014|access-date=June 29, 2021|archive-date=December 31, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171231042828/http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/coldwar/France/AMX-30.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>
