Four-axle vehicle with transformable running gear is researched in the article. Running gear is implemented as lift axles. Its correspondence with possible turning modes is explored. Main attention is drawn to the turning mode with desynchronization of angular velocities of different axle wheels rotation – front axle slip and rear axle slide turning mode. The calculations done by means of simulation shows such mode allows to reduce turning diameter as much as possible, until the vehicle will turn around the central point of rear axle. The application of this turning mode is reasonable in conditions of limited space.
