Zusammenfassung:	A loader type construction vehicle includes a chassis having a longitudinal axis, a plurality of wheeled ground-engaging structures pivotally coupled to the chassis, and a steering control system. Each of the plurality of ground-engaging structures includes a wheel pivotable about a steering axis and drivable abo ut a drive axis, wherein each of the wheeled ground-engaging structures is shaped and configured so that the wheel of each of the ground-engaging structures c an be pivoted from a first angular position in which the drive axis is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, to a second angular position that is at least 900 degrees from the first angular position. The steering control system is operatively connected to each of the ground engaging structures for pivoting the wheel o f each of the ground-engaging structures about the steering axis. The steering system may be operable to selectively configure the ground engaging structur es into a plurality of different steering configurations, such as crab steering and side steering. The loader vehicle may include a telescopic loader arm.
