This Hyster lumber carrier was made by Druge Mfg Co. of Oakland Ca in the 1950's. There is a lever to the right of the seat that raises and lowers the load and all four wheels steer. Made of all die-cast except for the windshield and wheels.
This version is the large one measuring only about 12 inches long. you can see the small version here.
