MRC - Container-Transporter

[Mike Hungerford]

Hi Mike,

wow, looking great! Could be sort of a mother ship for my smaller ones, don't you think? This is going to be a very busy garbage dump …
There seems to be some space next to the cab. Have you considered adding a crane or something?

Felix,

I figured there would be a variety of different types of container haulers buzzing around. Allres would have to employ subcontractors and their vehicles in order to keep up with the MRC's need for empties.

The space beside the cab is the top of the engine compartment; I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Maybe a bin for the rubber tracks when they're not in use. Nothing fixed as it needs to open up for engine maintenance.

A crane there would only be able to handle empty containers unless I add some outrigger landing gear to stabilize the vehicle. I *could* space the containers further apart and mount a crane between them at the center of gravity, but I'm expecting one of the little 'bots/mechs to do the loading and unloading, as well as other tasks around the MRC.

I am working on a container lift fixture as well, and an off-planet bulk container ship as well.
