Truck-type handling truck with a chassis and a back (40), and a low section, a nose plate attachment (41) and two wheels (71). The truck has a motor unit (60) mounted to the chassis (10) and an electric motor (61) connected to a differential transmission (62) with two lateral output shafts (621) and two track modules (50) each connected to a shaft (531) of the motor unit and mounted to swivel about this shaft independently between a position aligned with the chassis and a deployed position.

A continuous track attachment assembly adapted be used on conveying equipment is disclosed. The assembly includes a pair of spaced apart side plates having a plurality of wheel mounting openings therethrough. The side plates have a frame connection opening therethrough. The assembly further includes a plurality of support wheels disposed between the side plates, each of the support wheels including a wheel axle receiving opening therethrough. A center support wheel has a diameter that may be greater than the diameter of two outer support wheels. The assembly further comprises an axle disposed through the wheel mounting openings of the side plate and through the shaft receiving openings of the support wheels to thereby support the support wheels between the side plates while allowing rotation of the support wheels. The assembly further comprises a continuous track disposed about the support wheels.

A vehicle is disclosed that includes various portions for carrying a rider and operation of the vehicle. The vehicle may be configured for operation of more than one surface or surface type. The vehicle has a selected suspension assembly for operation of various surface types.

In one example, mobile industrial equipment for coupling to a truck for on highway transportation is provided. The mobile industrial equipment includes a frame to connect to the truck, a plurality of wheels connected to the frame, and a track assembly connected to the frame. In another example a method for using mobile equipment is provided. The method includes transporting mobile industrial equipment over the highway with a plurality of wheels connected to a frame of the mobile industrial equipment. The frame of the mobile industrial equipment is separated from the truck. The mobile industrial equipment is moved while separated from the truck using a track connected to the frame of the mobile industrial equipment.

A harvester and a method for harvesting a crop is disclosed. The harvester includes two track drives positioned on opposite ends of a front axle of the harvester, each of the track drives including two main wheels that are arranged successively in the driving direction of the harvester, at least one auxiliary wheel positioned between the main wheels, and at least one track that surrounds the main wheels. The auxiliary wheel can interact with a bottom section of the track so that the forces to be deflected via the particular track drive into ground can be deflected at least proportionately using the auxiliary wheel. To reduce the shearing forces into the ground when the harvester turns, a control unit, depending on the steering angle of the harvester, controls a lifting unit to lift a front main wheel of a particular track drive from its home position to a lifted position.
