The second frame comprises two transversely disposed girders which are transversely slidable with respect to the first frame, such girders being attached to each other telescopically in the transverse direction. Piston and cylinder means are attached to the second frame and are adapted transversely to expand and contract its girders with respect to the first frame, thereby transversely to vary the width or track of the wheels.
