Loader Vehicle with Robotic Grab

This is the SERMMOS 105 (Service and Maintenance Motorized Support Vehicle) from Orkov-Skargaard Industries. The 105 Series is fitted to function as delivery platform for fuel cells and other heavy duty parts for construction vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft and mechs - any industrial strength situation.

My idea here was to create a fun little support vehicle that was tracked in a 3-wheel mode and which could deliver cargo from its cargo bed using a robotic grabbing arm. Rather than going for a standard crane grab, I thought it could be fun to create an arm that featured a large scale robotic hand that could manipulate the cargo unto the right place.
I went for the traditional yellow colour scheme of construction vehicles but had to divert a few places due to lack of bricks in the right colour :)

The vehicle could fit almost any setting - current day or space.
