Reminded me of the trucks which truck the airliners in the airports
Searched for it, they are called Towbarless (TBL) Tugs, they go under the nose of plane and lift the front wheels
I don’t particularly like cars, but those ones always had my attention in the terminal :)

- rob74 4mo agoYeah, for those it makes sense to have the driver's cabin so low to the ground. Also for heavy-duty auto cranes (https://www.gelbe-seiten-svd.de/Anzeigen/bga_grafiken/80i35388.jpg https://www.gelbe-seiten-svd.de/Anzeigen/bga_grafiken/80i353...). But for trailer trucks, the downsides (mostly the severely limited visibility for the driver) far outweigh the advantages.
