Some of the ergo cabs had skylights for checking the overhang in tight spots, not on the firm I worked for.
A doddle Patrick had this for two years from new then a Ergo Mercury with a similar trailer for a year.

A wee bit different the Southport inshore lifeboat launcher, not sure what the platform on the front would be for.

Thanks Dean. Had one of them (ex Mortons) for a while you had to be fit to clamber up that top deck support frame for tying down front car, when new they came with a ladder but no padlocks so they quickly walked

Hole borer? Possibly a specialist device for boring in stone rather than soil. It looks as though the tip is resting on an old tyre, perhaps to protect the tip? I am, of course, guessing its use!

Best wishes for 2021 to all.
