Thanks to ACERT technology you could track around in that thing for a really long time without needing fuel. They are designed to constantly be under a heavy load pushing dirt around. They are not fast, top speed in 3rd gear is about 10 mph, and from the operators seat it is terrifying fast.
Nothing is going to stop it, nothing is going to climb up to the operators seat and dozers are everywhere. they used one in the move Tremors....
A great vantage point for shooting too, but also makes you a big target.
I used to drive a big ass honkin Baker Forklift. Those are fun as hell, but yeah, when your going about 20mph, it's pretty damn fast, and you could actually get up to about 30mph. A bit harder to steer with rear steer wheels. Very very responsive so you had to be careful at that speed. It had like a 15 speed trans if I recall. Had a L M and H, then had 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Maybe 10 speed with L and H and then the 5, can't remember now, but it had options for next to not even moving in L 1st on up to about 30 in H 5th. That bitch was badass. I loved that lift.
