=====Crab steering===== Crab steering is a special type of active four-wheel steering. It operates by steering all wheels in the same direction and at the same angle. Crab steering is used when the vehicle needs to proceed in a straight line but at an angle: when changing lanes on a highway at speed, when moving loads with a reach truck, or during filming with a camera dolly. Rear wheel steering can also be used when the rear wheels may not follow the path taken by the front wheel tracks (e.g. to reduce soil compaction when using rolling farm equipment). {{Gallery |width=180 | height=170 |align=center |File:Bauma 2007 Telescopic Handler Liebherr 2.jpg|2007 Liebherr-Bauma [[telescopic handler]] using crab steering. |File:HAMM DV70 Tandemwalze im Hundegang.jpg|Hamm DV70 tandem roller using crab steering to cover maximum road surface (2010). |File:Slurry applicator - geograph.org.uk - 1252279.jpg|Agricultural slurry applicator using crab steering to minimise soil compaction (2009). }}
