The image below is of tractors used in Antarctica to transport trains of supplies and living quarters on sleds. The most recent expedition used Caterpillar D6N Tractors (small bulldozers) to pull the sections.
A system like this could be used to transport the pioneer cabins through the tree grid of Hantz farms, either as individual units with self locomotion, or as connected "trains" of cabins on skids.
Taking a cue from construction equipment types, additional systems that could be used include:
- Pneumatic legs for stabilizing stationary equipment:
- Equipment storage systems, such as external racks:
and tool storage containers:
- Peripheral systems and equipment, such as electric generators can also be used:
*Any of these systems, if used, will have to be successfully integrated into the cabin structure itself, as opposed to being simply applied to it. They will be central , not peripheral components, and the presence of one will likely affect the presence of another.
