here's a strange one, a Gerlinger lumber loader straddle, also called a straddle carrier or straddle lift truck, that seems to be half size
In 1913, Harry B. Ross built the first straddle truck at the Stetson-Ross Machine Works in Seattle, Washington. It revolutionized the movement of lumber around mill yards, and would be replicated in later years by Gerlinger in 1918, Hyster, Yale, Caterpillar and a host of others.
