Neat truck but when on road that bed it sits doesnt look to have much ground clearance (for speed humps lol)

how does that drive, the road bed?

thought maybe tracks drive tyres.

arh? its 6x6 so is it front wheel drive
and back end is just like a wheel skate.

tbh be better if was integral, like those
trucks that can go on rail tracks by
lowering rail wheels.

but off road is stunning, not just mud
but in sand dunes and when reversed
up onto that pile of sand? before
dumping load.;)

the train track lorries/diggers pain in arse gettin on or off the tracks,the diggers when fitted with hedge cutting thing can tip over onto there side!

often see cherry picker type self contained mini cranes going on to a section
of track next to where i work. theres even a makeshift level crossing of to aid.
neat how the unpowered rail axles hydrallicallyy move so are then powered
by the road wheels.
