  Have these guys never been to an airport? There are trucks like this all over the tarmac.

    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.

    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…

    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:

    Hmm, makes sense.
    You’d need a long bed to transport the planes.

  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?

  source

  • chocrates@piefed.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Yeah, nom 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

    Large enough load would escape when braking. No wall up front. Add one and visibility goes to shit.

  • BeUnique@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    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

  • pigup@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    A enough load would block the entire left window. the driver would be unable to see to their left.

  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.

    source
  • deacon@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Those aren’t used for transport, they are mobile conveyors for loading things into the belly.

    source
• Brainsploosh@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  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.

  You joke but this is basically what a vintage British Bus looks like, except the non-cab side is for the Engine.

• ChicoSuave@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  The drivetrain doesn’t have a place to live. The nose of a truck holds the guts, freeing up space for load in the other half. Moving the guts to a cab-over would shrink the available engine size. Having all the power train to one side would require entirely new engineering to have 2 double length axles with no counter spinning force, so torque on the frame would twist the chassis up at the far point like a lever.

  Or it would be underpowered to prevent it, effectively a kei truck engine in a full sized truck body. It is going to work much harder in some way to be as successful as existing trucks.

    the first-gen honda acty this drawing is obviously based on had its boxer-four under the bed. i don’t see why that wouldn’t work here.

    If it were electric, you could put the battery on the bed side.

    You could easily squeeze 200 horsepower into a vehicle of this size.

  As someone else already mentioned, these do exist but you don’t see them on the road because it usually easier to just get a bigger truck.

  Funny. I was thinking how cool it would be if an EV truck with a frunk had a midgate, fold down front passenger seat, and ability to open the dash somehow to pass though very long things into trunk area.

  I also had this truck idea. I’ve seen at least one real version of such a thing.
