The landram party on Carillon.

A landram is a tracked vehicle used for ground operations (TOS: "Saga of a Star World"), typically shuttled to a planet via a shuttle (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I"). It is capable of holding crew and cargo, and is equipped with a top mounted turret weapon. A landram was used for the initial scouting of Carillon. They were later used to evacuate civilians and warriors from the "pleasure resort" on the planet (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

A landram is deployed to the surface of Kobol (TOS: "Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II").

A version of the landram modified for use in frigid climates is the snowram (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").

Another modified version, referred to as a power sled, this time without the cabin and open to the air, is deployed on planet Sectar. It is stolen by agents of Sire Bogan of Serenity to coerce the assistance of Starbuck (TOS: "The Magnificent Warriors").

In the separate continuity

Ovions overlook a landram on Carillon's surface (Deathtrap!).

Landrams are deployed on Carillon to scout for sources of tylium, and later one of these is used by Lieutenant Jolly to take out numerous Centurions during the Battle of Carillon (Deathtrap!).
