Les tracteurs à conducteur à pied [...] sont peu encombrants; ils assurent le déplacement de petites charges sur de courtes distances; leur vitesse est rarement supérieure à 5 km/heure. Ils sont très maniables et peuvent être utilisés en complément d'autres matériels pour dégager des postes de travail ou pour circuler dans les zones encombrées. Les moteurs sont pratiquement toujours des moteurs électriques. 1, record 2, French, - tracteur%20%C3%A0%20conducteur%20%C3%A0%20pied
