How to make a rover that can move parts for bases?

[LABHOUSE]

Need to know how to must be able to grab from size tiny to size extra large and to be able to move the parts easily.

Try taking a look at This Thread Which covers all the bases for modular base building.

You need the KAS mod for the winches, and a beast of a rover that will straddle the load, and carry it underneath!

You don't need KAS, though it is helpful. The thread Taki117 linked uses stock only for the rovers.

Have you tried dragging the modules around with the Claw from the ARM pack? That works reasonably well.

Hmm I've never done this so I can't guarantee it'll work, but if you have a docking port on the base, and a docking port on the rover, you use docking ports to transfer one module to the rover. PM me if you need images.

My idea is to use an advanced grabbing unit but I will need top move 6 capsules and 2 long modules.

Where did you get the Caterpillar tracks Voculus? I can see that I need those now.

If using conventional docking ports it's usually best to do things vertically. You can use landing legs to help raise and lower parts for docking, or just rocket thrust. Attempting to dock horizontally often has issues with the suspension on the two parts throwing the alignment out.

Caterpillar Tracks

It adds five different parts, and they're all awesome.

Thanks heaps mate. These will be great.

If you don't mind putting wheels and docking ports on everything, it is a piece of cake.

I was working on a crane that utilized claws, but right as I got something that worked okay, KSP started crashing over and over. I submitted a bug report but here's a pic of an early, not very decent model dragging a support frame around the runway.
