From the picture, there don't appear to be any pneumatics.  It looks
like the crane claw is operated from an axle down the center of the
crane arm.  Probably through a U-joint at the claw head.

Interesting.  I would guess that the crane can be rotated (through the
use of a large Technic turntable) and tilted.  It looks like you need to
flip the device holding the large suspender to close the grabber.  This
isn't too nice, IMO.

The dual front wheel steering looks interesting, and I think I see a
large turntable above the rear wheels.

Yup.

Overall, this is one odd vehicle.  I'm not sure if I like it too much,
looking at the pictures.
