Yes they do and watching them load and unload is something to watch. Just had a pipeline installed through my pace and watching them load and unload those machines was a sight to see. i don't know the models and forget the mfgrs., but they took up the whole platform.
The lowboy stops on the road. The operator approaches from the side and uses the bucket to lift the front of the tracks to lowboy platform height. Using bucket leverage and track power the machine crawls onto the lowboy and the operator executes a 90* turn, tucks the bucket up under the boom and the crew boomers it down. Only takes a few minutes.
Watching the process and how they protect the steel pipe is a tightly controlled and inspected process. This 12 pipe was transferring diesel and gasoline from storage tanks near the interstate to a new storage area 35 miles away which has become a high use area due to the explosive nature of the settlement here in N. Tx.
The pipe was buried 8' deep and on my property consisted of bored and surface installation. The wall thickness of the steel pipe was 3/8 for the surface installed part and 1/2 for the bored part. I have 2 high pressure gas lines that are at least 50 years old and they flushed out the dirt, making the two pipes visible so that the new pipe, buried deeper and bored could be viewed by the guy steering the drill head ensuring that he passed under the old pipes without incident. The coating on the older lines looked like it was new after all these years. Very impressed and pipelines are the way to go for moving material of the sort.
