Yeah I was thinking if the OP has never seen an airport and these vehicles.
In addition to that belt loader, there are a plethora of different kind of half-cockpit vehicles there. Ofc its easier there as these likely dont need to be registered for road use.
It technically is that, as well, and I’ve certainly seen them used to transport things short distances. At a top speed of 15 MPH (unless you know where to find the governor, but even then), it isn’t something you’d want to use to bring a bunch of lumber back from the lumber yard. More like bringing a broken towbar to an unresponsive GSE shop so that it can be left on their doorstep to shame them. As a random hypothetical.

Except, BAM - it’s not a flat bed, it’s a moving conveyor belt that is raised to carry the bags and cargo from those carts into the plane.
Unless you’re thinking of something else. But I think you’re thinking of something like this:

I’ve seen so many different types and makes.
…the layout works for road cars, too…
Or, it’s a self unloading flat bed ;)
