Description

To move bulky items from site to site, aid construction, deliver fuel and haul containers, could otherwise result in a partially redundant range of diverse vehicles. By containerising cargoes within a standard frame module, then they can all be shifted by this 'pick and kneel' carrier, keeping it fully employed. Using hydraulic legs it can settle down around a container, latch on to it, and raising itself up with its load, transport it onwards to the drop-off zone.
