The main obstacle for performing CPT operations tests is mobility on soft ground. Not however with the Track-Truck. The A.P. van den Berg Track-Truck is mobile where other heavy vehicles get stuck, thanks to the integrated track system. The Track-Truck combines hydraulically driven tracks on the CPT-truck providing a unique mobile vehicle, at home on soft soil. By retracting the tracks, which are remotely controlled from the driver's cabin, the Track-Truck runs as an ordinary truck on the highway. |

A standard truck turned into a multifunctional bruiser The track system is suitable for 4x4 or 6x6 off-road trucks and reduces the wheel load by 60 to 70%, enabling it to move on soft soil and still perform heavy CPT operations between 180-300 kN with the HYSON, COSON, AUTOHYSON or AUTOCOSON CPT units. Modified versions of the Track-Truck can also be used as mobile drilling rigs, ambulances and field hospitals, mobile workshops, winch vehicles for cable-laying or mobile cranes. Steel or synthetic crawler plates can be used, depending on the application. |

Wireless remote control A remote control "chestpack" lets the operator manoeuver the Track-Truck with a clear view from a safe distance, and also serves for manoeuvering on steep terrain. The operator is not hindered by a cable while walking around and finding a suitable place to stand. Also there is no chance of failure by overrunning the cable during manoeuvering. |

Options for crawler plates
- Steel. The latter is an in-house innovation. These new plates reduce possible damage to the road or terrain and feature a 50% weight reduction compared to conventional steel plates. Furthermore they are less vulnarable to wear and tear than synthetic plates that are normally used to reduce weight. They are suitable for Track-Trucks as well as crawler vehicles.
