sandrail

Off-road sand vehicle

A sandrail is a lightweight off-road vehicle with an open tubular frame, designed for driving on sand dunes.

The minimal bodywork and wide tires help it navigate loose terrain without getting stuck.

Sandrails are popular in desert recreation areas: We took the sandrail out to the dunes.
