Drive a truck sideways? Why not? Oshkosh's ALL STEER® all wheel steering system allows a truck to literally drive sideways in one of three distinct steering modes. In front steer mode the operator uses conventional steering, with rear wheels locked in a straight-ahead position. For tight corners and smaller spaces, the system allows for coordinated steer mode, which turns the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels, reducing the turning radius up to 30 percent. Finally, for maximum low-speed maneuverability around obstacles or into tight spots, crab-steer mode, also called the "crab walk," lets the rear wheels turn in the same direction as the front wheels, allowing the vehicle to move sideways.

The ALL STEER system is electronically controlled directly from the cab. It is designed for fail-safe operation with system interlocks and a self-diagnostic troubleshooting system for enhanced safety and reliability.
