The Kettenkrad proved to be optimal for transporting loads and men on difficult terrain such as the sandy beaches of North Africa or muddy parts of the Russian steppe. Later, from 1944 onwards, the Kettenkrad was used for runway flight handling of the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighters and Arado A-234 jet bombers.
