04 "Crane" - Surface Vehicle Version 1

"Crane"- Surface Vehicle [29 prims]
Surface Excursion Vehicle from Exosphere

Once you have landed a mission team on a new sim, you can explore the surface with these powerful rugged vehicles.

The Crane is a two-tracked vehicle, built to load cargo and has an operational grapple. You can touch the big arm of the crane to operate it and step it through several different positions, so it's great for role play. As you drive, the tracks will turn. The faster your speed, the faster they'll rotate. If you put it in reverse, they will spin backwards. The engine sounds as it starts up and while it's running. It’s equipped with several gears for traction and speed. The driver's canopy dome can be opened or closed by touching. You can adjust the driver pose position through a menu. It produces a dark smoke from the rear as it moves forward. Get more info by touching the help screen on the vehicle dashboard.
