It's really a thing they sell. https://www.mcmaster.com/tricycles/ https://www.mcmaster.com/tricycles/ The why, though, no idea. Warehouse schlepping, probably?

On the other hand, I take one look at this mostly-prefabricated building and I'm like "...I could use one of those." https://www.mcmaster.com/6704T998/ https://www.mcmaster.com/6704T998/

- avianlyric 4y agoLooks like they would be very useful on large industrial site with multiple buildings. Provide staff with bikes to get around, and cargo tricycles if they need to move small to medium loads.
- benhurmarcel 4y agoOr even inside a large industrial building like industrial assembly lines, etc.
- 2sk21 4y agoI saw these in use in the Boeing factory north of Seattle during the factory tour.
- milancurcic 4y agoEvery other worker in a shipyard has a tricycle like this.
- eropple 4y agoTIL. Thanks!
- bluGill 4y agoWhen a factory is a couple km long in either direction and a machine breaks the mechanics need to get their tool boxes there fast and safe. While street truck could be used (and often they are), a because of people walking around the top speed is no higher, and the trike is more maneuverable and so overall is faster than a truck.
