Around here, a truck with that weight capacity would be hauling
(4) cars.
Normal to see a longer tilting flatbed having (2) cars on the deck, a small tilting flatbed over the cab with a third car,
and a T-bar towing car #4.
Much more efficient usage of truck, operator, and road taxes.
Yall must have some seriously bad drivers in Erie if a tow truck needs to haul 4 cars. The one in the OP however, has 2 cars weight of useless machinery on it. I don't see it having any use to move machinery or automobiles.Around here, a truck with that weight capacity would be hauling

How did the truck get that close to the car? If it has some kind of wheel lift fork attachments on those masts how did they get under the car? Are the separate and placed by hand?
I think that previous 10 minutes before that video started would have shown a lot more.
But if you got a car hemmed-in front and rear, in a city street , and you need to get the car out without damaging it, this seems like a near solution.

It appears to be modeled after the Jerr-Dan side loader. From stopping to driving away, under 1 minute to load. Only problem with trying to move machinery, is weight capacity. Load limit on the equipment is 5000 pounds and there are no provisions for tie downs.
Fixed it for youThey can't do "extraction from a ditch" type work.
Repo men have the whole rig that hides in a pickup truck bed, never get out of the truck
With no car on it the forks are retracted below the truck chassis. The truck pulls along side of the car, the two fork lift like masts lower, the forks extend under the car, the forklift masts raise together and once the car is high enough they roll across to the other side to haul. All under power, no hand work is required. The contraption is stupid complicated and useless unless the side of the car to be towed is clear.
