Where tight turning in confined spaces is necessary, personnel carriers designed on tractors are common.
Other narrow vein personnel carriers are designed for a specific job based on their attachments.
These attachments include rear and/or front lift baskets for utility and electrical work, mechanic packages, cable reels, heavy duty canes, ANFO loaders, and shotcrete booms.
These carriers may only have a 3 to 3.5 feet (0.91 to 1.07 m) height dimension and carry up to 14 men, and are typically built from the ground up and can be designed with job specific attachments.
Other types of mantrips do not require a track and take the form of a pickup truck running on rubber tires.
