Just an observation on my part, re the stability of the Bendi truck. Best way to demonstrate stability of these machine is to pick up a load in an open area in the travel position. Steer from left lock to right lock lock, and observe the steering pivot point and how the load rotates around the steering pivot point, through 180 deg. The Bendi is at its most stable with the load straight ahead. But has been load tested with the load at 90 deg to the straight ahead position. I also found it difficult to understand the stability triangle theory on these types of machine, because of course when you carry out above the triangle also rotates through 180 deg at the back end of the machine and at both extremes is outside of the wheel base
