Green Geek’s Wetdream: The Super Tipper Truck Delivers Tons of Pure Awesome

February 12, 2008

Excuse me while I green geek out on you.

Great Flying Spaghetti Monster! Is this thing cool or what!?!

Meet the Super Tipper Truck, the coolest damn truck I’ve ever seen. It has independent suspension and electronic motors in all four wheels and it rips through the woods and up and down hills.

OK, so basically the thing is a dump truck sized Transformer-looking oversized ATV. You could do a lot of damage to the woods in that thing and it’s bound to be mainly utilized by mega sized multi-national mining and energy firms.

But… but…

It’s got electric wheels. That’s green, right?

Either way, it’s going on my Crazy Wish List, the list of things I will buy myself when I am a Billionaire. Maybe I’ll get a few and me and my friends can race them. We’ll charge ‘em up with the solar panels, I promise.

Inside this nondescript yellow box lies the Casulo, a modularly designed room in a box. It has an armoire, desk, three stools, a bookshelf, and a bed and mattress all boxed up within itself (no extra packaging needed). It takes two people just 10 minutes to unload and setup the pieces turning into this:

Here’s a video of the whole setup process:

Very cool.
