That quad configuration would also allow it to cross short bridges not rated for the full weight of the vehicle. Just extend one wheel across the bridge and plant it on the far bank. Roll the second wheel across the bridge. Roll the third wheel across the bridge. Finally roll the fourth wheel across the bridge. None of those individual wheels would be heavy enough to break the bridge.
This chassis would also be handy for stepping up over obstacles (e.g. sea wall at Dieppe, France).
