Originally the single barrel version was mounted on its own two-wheeled trailer, towed either by a wheeled vehicle such as the Krupp L243 or by a light half-track, but later variants were often mounted on the 1-tonne series of half-tracked carriers (Sdkfz 10). Flakvierling 38 quad mount on a half-track belonging to a Luftwaffe unit serving with the 2nd Panzer Division.
