Making tracks to clean-up after accidents

After carrying out three years of development work, MaK System Gmbh in Kiel, Germany, is scheduled to hand over a prototype of its heavy manipulator tracked vehicle to the company that commissioned it in March 1994. Designed to work in life-endangering environments, the remote-controlled mobile handling system could be used to clean-up after accidents or to help decommission and decontaminate nuclear installations.
