    May I introduce you to… a VW Transporter with flatbed. Also available with double cab (don’t let the price confuse you it’s for a flatbed floor).

    You largely see them used by landscapers. Almost wanted to say hauling compact excavators but that’s generally done with a trailer, flatbeds tend to be quite a bit too high for comfort you’d need a sturdy crane which you of course also might need but now you’re at a point where you’re trying quite hard to justify getting an unimog.

    Forestry tends to be done with specialised harvesters and then trucks, hunters tend to have bog-standard station wagons. Heavy construction materials like pallets of bricks will generally be delivered by whoever sells them, on trucks with cranes.

      Probably not allowed in the US due to some shitty law? I’m guessing… I’m going to check it out. Maybe get one from Craigslist one day in the long future.
