V.M.E Heavy Duty Hooklift Truck

The G.CS-HDT-1 Heavy-Duty Truck by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering is a small grid transport-vehicle with an extendable magnetic hookloader to grab and move objects from A to B.

Designed as a platform, the LUV relies on modifications to make it suitable for its user. By itself, the truck comes without anything but the most basic components to serve as a survival-capable vehicle.

A single large battery provides power for multiple hours, while an hydrogen-engine, an o2/h2-generator and a hydrogen-tank enable the vehicle to store and produce its own fuel. Standard-loadout provides control-seats for two people. In case the vehicle happens to land on its roof, a gyroscope is set up for override to bring it back on the wheels. And as with most V.M.E-vehicles, a tow hitch is included to attach various trailers to it.
