"WHY DOES THIS TRUCK HAVE SUCH A SMALL CABIN?" Easy, I was driving them about 40 years ago. They are called Skinnies and I was hauling over-length small diameter steel that would extend out past the front of the cab placed on either side. The truck was smaller than a truck trailer combo and could get into smaller fabrication shops
4:18 Regarding the HATTY: I've seen similar trucks working to haul logs, planks, or other long items that have long lengths that don't easily fit conventional vehicles.
The emergency access ladder truck for aircraft is a 4x4, or so you say. However, when the fireman goes up the lower ramp and then the stairs, there are 4 wheels at the rear of the unit, which means vehicle is probably a 6x6 but definitely not a 4x4 although all other videoing shows a 4x4. So which design is it?

Thank you for answering the question... not being a video of many different vehicles with forced closed captioning.
Another very good video about redesigned and specialized vehicles
That machine from Van Breda looks an lot like the Veldhuizen mower machines on an Iveco modified chassis with a New Holland cab.
It’s a DAF chassis. Funky bit of kit, not sure it’s designed to mow fields though

Duallies don't count to it's designation as 4x4 or 6x6
@@ashleyel-khashab Have another look at the segment of the video I mentioned. Are there duallies or 2 separate axles on the rear?
Steel Hauler for Local Deliveries
Most likely a pipe hauler .
The last truck is very useful but the company uses it Only for 2 kms... That's waste of 10 months & thousands of Euros in the makin...
In the 1950s, some trucking companies had half size cabs so the driver couldnt pick up hitch hikers.
No place for hitchhikers
