The first tracked loaders were built from tracked tractors with custom-built loader buckets. The first loaders were cable-operated like the bulldozers of the era. These tracked loaders lacked the ability to dig in hard ground, but so did the bulldozers of the day. They were mostly used for moving stockpiled material and loading trucks and rail ...
Muir Hill (Engineers) Ltd was a general engineering company based at Old Trafford, Manchester, England.It was established in the early 1920s and specialised in products to expand the use of the Fordson tractor, which in the pre-war days included sprung road wheels, bucket loaders, simple rail locomotives, and in particular in the 1930s they developed the dumper truck.
The main platform is defined to have a height of 1,100 mm (43.3 in) at a distance of 1,920 mm (75.6 in) from the center of the track to allow for trains with profile T. Low platforms at a height of 200 mm (7.9 in) may be placed at 1,745 mm (68.7 in) from the center of the track.

Skid-steer loaders are sometimes equipped with tracks instead of the wheels, and such a vehicle is known as a compact track loader. [7] Skid steer loaders, both wheel and track models, operate most efficiently when they are imbalanced – either the front wheels or the back wheels are more heavily loaded.
A track geometry car (also known as a track recording car) is an automated track inspection vehicle on a rail transport system used to test several parameters of the track geometry without obstructing normal railroad operations. Some of the parameters generally measured include position, curvature, alignment of the track, smoothness, and the ...

Respectable diagram of the major points on a standard tractor trailer truck (or articulated lorry, if you happen to be from the other end of the pond). Admittedly not a particularly exciting image, however it does label and show and the standard points of a tractor trailer truck quite well, and that I judge is worth a shot here.
