Cool wheels on Mythbusters.

Just saw a mythbusters episode where they tried to blow up a x-mass tree with LN2.

They used a forklift to move the tree and the lift had these wheels on them that were multi directional. Each wheel had little wheels/casters on them that allowed the forklift to move sideways without turning the wheel.

I did a brief image search and could not find anything that looked close.

Anyone ever see something like this?

I found this which is kind of close but not quite.

it's pretty cool. At my friends shipping warehouse we ended up getting one for the day while the regular heavy lift forklift had to be serviced. It was very cool

When you have an unlimited budget to blow stuff up-
They're nice, but I wouldn't want to deal with the maintenance nightmare if something went wrong.
