Abstract

The truck has four wheels arranged in a rectangular pattern and a retractable fork, travel in any direction being achieved by motorising two consecutive or diagonally opposite wheels, the other two being idlers following them. The two driving and steering wheels (3, 4) are automatically swivelled by conventional means so that their axes converge towards the centre of the machine, and so driven as to cause the truck to rotate about its geometrical axis. For travelling in a straight line the driving wheels can be kept parallel to each other, while there is a second control swivelling them to different angles for steering and manoeuvring.
