Shuttlecrawler

A shuttlecrawler was a type of Federation shuttlecraft outfitted with a retractable all-terrain ground propulsion system. These vehicles operated within the Federation Starfleet as well as various civilian mining operations in the 23rd century. 

Specifics
Shuttlecrawlers could be further customized, as could tunnel runners and sizzle bug mining craft. 

A shuttlecrawler was sometimes assigned to the Federation starship USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) during the 2260s. 

Service history
In the 2260s, the space bug shuttlecrawler Space Bug X-4 brought a landing party to the surface of the planet Coltac, seeking herbs that were the main ingredient for a plague cure on Zargot. 

In 2269, Hikaru Sulu piloted a shuttlecrawler with an exploratory team to the unusual surface of Boqu II.
