Devlog #7: Heavy Rover Part 2/3

In previous post, you became familiar with basic details of the Heavy Rover, so today we'd like to talk about Heavy Rover's hydraulic crane and trailers.



The Rover is equipped with a semi-trailer with different removable containers attached by hook.
There are many types of trailers:

• container - for storing big items and building components
  
• the tipper trailer - for collecting rocks used on mining sites
  
• gas and liquid tanks - for storing water, oxygen or gas
  

The trailer must be attached to the Rover to load and unload, so you will not be able to add more than a one trailer.



Heavy Rover also has an hydraulic crane (HDS) and crane tools, such as:

• claw - used to grab rocks and put them into the trailer
  
• drill - used to drilling through big rocks in order to crush them into smaller parts,
  which can be transported
  
• welder - used for building constructions and repairing damaged buildings
  

The Rover is also equipped with automatic tool changing system. The crane tools are safely
stored in the Rover’s trunk which is located opposite to the main entrance airlock.



You can easily operate the robotic arm with the right control panel in the cabin and change the crane tool with crane tool manager. You will be able to adjust the length, height and direction of an arm.
