I'm pretty sure you can't get such a thing. Car steer because they are made for going in a straight line without a lot of stop and go. Robots have skid steer since a zero turn radius is useful and they stop and turn quite frequently. If you're looking for a good industrial example of a skid-steer, check out a bobcat.
