Yard trucks are just a minor evolution away
Clearly designed by someone who hasn't used a pickup truck to it's real potential.
Yeah, this isn't rocket surgery
Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days
Have these guys never been to an airport? There are trucks like this all over the tarmac.
How do you move the planes around if the entire tarmac is filled with these? Seems a little impractical.
A port made entirely of air? Who do you think I am, some kind of idiot?!
No, it's Japanese so the port side is on the right.
Fun fact! The literal translation of airport in Japanese is 'sky harbour'
It's the same in English...
In Afrikaans too. Probably in a lot of languages
Yes, including english

I think you are thinking of belt loaders, which have a long flat bed on them.
Except, BAM - it’s not a flat bed, it’s a moving conveyor belt that is raised to carry the bags and cargo from those carts into the plane.
Unless you’re thinking of something else. But I think you’re thinking of something like this:
Or, it's a self unloading flat bed ;)
It technically is that, as well, and I've certainly seen them used to transport things short distances. At a top speed of 15 MPH (unless you know where to find the governor, but even then), it isn't something you'd want to use to bring a bunch of lumber back from the lumber yard. More like bringing a broken towbar to an unresponsive GSE shop so that it can be left on their doorstep to shame them. As a random hypothetical.
Sometimes you come up with a genius idea only to realize you've reinvented the train.
Honestly take these as wins. Clearly it was a good idea.
... or just pulled the idea from subconscious memory...

Cool! But I'm struggling with the title of the article. This cab truck was the most single ever? There were other cab trucks that were single, but this one was the most single of them all? Am I misreading this somehow, or is that title just weird?
Single cab trucks prioritize cargo space over seating space, generally having only a single bench seat that fits 2 adults and a child, or three often uncomfortable adults. This truck prioritizes cargo space to a much greater degree, having only a single seat, so it's aggressively "single cab".
That is so wild!!!
It may be because a large enough load could quickly block the driver's left-side mirror.
Oooh, another thing is that a heavy enough load may imbalance the vehicle enough to make it unsafe on turns.
Anyone see anything else?
Wouldn't wind resistance be a problem that higher speeds?
Like with 30km/h, it probably doesn't matter but 90km/h? Idk.
With a big enough load, the driver's entire left-side visibility could be blocked.
Large enough load would escape when braking. No wall up front. Add one and visibility goes to shit.
Yeah, non uniform suspension or adaptive suspension might be important.
Probably not a good idea for 70 miles per hour but it might be a kick ass farm truck
That was my first thought. Either the load will make it uneven, or the lack of load will. Also, very weird wind resistence at speed.
But fine at low speed
Heavy enough people? Take a 300lb person in the front and a 200lb person in the back and you're gonna have a bad time making a quick turn

ceci n'est pas une truck
OMG I love this Korpiklaani song!!!
Et les "kei trucks"? N'est-ce pas un truck?
Non, ce sont longues autos. /s
Probably bad aerodynamic. Don't they use something like that on the airport? Since they don't drive far, aerodynamics are probably not that important.
I'd imagine if you're transporting long, heavy things, you wouldn't want to drive too fast anyway.
Depends on what you consider too fast, is driving the speed limit outside of a town "too fast"?

You joke but this is basically what a vintage British Bus looks like, except the non-cab side is for the Engine.
Multicar M24 too
One issue for a vehicle allowed in traffic is that ypu typically can't have things sticking too far out of the vehicle in any direction lest someone drives into them. Thus long haulage is put on long beds, even when not very heavy.
Advantages of long beds is also that you can better secure your load along the length, can use standardised vehicles and parts, as well as have an easier time with load balancing and view management.
Aksually If you hang a red flag off of it. It becomes legal.
