The shaft (20) has a wheel (22) movably rotated around a rotational axis (Y22) with respect to a shaft (37). A structure element (12) defines a reference plane (P2) approximately parallel to ground when the wheel rests on the ground. A swiveling system (24) is pivoted with respect to the structure element about a pivot axis (Z24). An actuator system (30) includes a translation unit of the wheel along a lift axis (Z30) permanently tilted at an inclination angle ranging between 60 degrees and 90 degrees with respect to the reference plane. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a method for utilizing an axle shaft (2) a vehicle.
