I don't know if that's a mobile machine shop. I'm sure I've seen that picture captioned as a salesman's display unit.

Yeah, there's four of them in the picture. They must have them mounted in each bay so a mechanic doesn't have to walk a half mile to get to one to use. I bet it would total a Mack truck if it hit one, too!
