The SS-100 Gigant is a German, heavy, wheeled tractor from the interwar period and World War II. The first civilian copies of this vehicle appeared in 1936-1937, and serial production continued - with breaks - in the years 1937-1950. The vehicle was powered by a single 8.5-liter D85S engine with 100hp.

The SS-100 Gigant was initially developed for the civil market by Hanomag as a heavy tractor capable of hauling a load of up to 20 tons. However, its performance and capabilities very quickly caught the attention of the German armed forces, which quickly acquired such vehicles. They were successfully used for the transport of very heavy loads, as well as vehicles for towing Luftwaffe planes on runways. It was also the SS-100 Gigant that was often used to transport V-2 missiles. The demand for vehicles of this type was so great that during the war, their license production was started at the Bussing plant in Vienna. After the end of World War II, their production was started very quickly and continued until 1950, intended for the civilian market.
