A self-propelled vehicle (17) for ground handling of equipment supportable by a pair of skids. The vehicle (17) has a front chassis (22) rotatably connected to a rear chassis (26) through a connection (32) for relative tilting movement. Each chassis (22, 26) is supported by a pair of independently driven omnidirectional wheels (21, 23, 25, 27) for movement of the vehicle over the ground in any azimuthal direction. Mounted on the rear chassis is a lift assembly (110) of adjustable transverse width for engaging the skids with the lifting elements and lifting the equipment to an elevated position for transport over the ground. A stabilizer assembly (150) of adjustable transverse width is also mounted on the rear chassis, but extends through and in front of the front chassis (22) for engaging the skids with the stabilizing elements to prevent fore/aft teetering movement of the elevated equipment.
