That looks like a lot of mucking around, compared to a pair of hydraulic ramps on the back.
Or if the budget wont stretch to ramps.

Queen’s Terrace, So’ton, near Dock Gate 4.
It appears even the red box is still there!

Are these red phone cabs still in use? I don’t think they’re any more in France today.
I don’t know whether or not there is actually a phone inside the box?
It might be left as some quaint decoration?
Is that a phone handset showing through right hand side windows? Google Maps
And BT said 2023 there were still 20,000 payphones, including 3,000 red kiosks in the UK. At one time there were 100,000.
It looks it is indeed, but the box itself seems pretty neglected. Probably just kept as “vintage”, I’d say.
If it was a second hand car the advert would say “original patina” or some such. 
Cunard sign gone though, one of my old employers, one trip to New York and back on the bloody old Mary. Once was definitely enough, 1930s crew accommodation. A bit like having a very old daycab with no side windows, solid seat and no heater in the middle of winter. 
One nice touch though for those two Leicester ERFs passing in front of the Cunard building: Cunard briefly ran an excellent fleet of ERFs on ‘internals’ meeting Cunard’s three freighters of the Cunard Arabian Middle East Line (CAMEL) in Jeddah in the late '70s / early '80s.
Of the ones that still remain in my part of the country Paul , most appear to serve the purpose of late night pi ss oirs .

Multidrop? 
He only uses the main roads, as you can see, and then drops the car down for the side road deliveries.

The term swan neck is what we use when we’re referring to a stepframe trailer. If it has a hydraulic neck though, the term “live” neck is used.
In case of a lowloader with detachable neck, it’s just that, a detachable neck, or when the neck is fixed, a fixed neck. Hope this helps or makes sense?
Interesting clip, but as usual, our American brethren still use a system that was designed in the 50s! I’ll try to find an example on YouTube of how we do things over here.
