This Mercedes-Benz with its long bed was always on the spot when the job required hauling steel girders and pipes of excessive length. The cubic Mercedes-Benz brings back a piece of construction site history at WIKING: In the 1970s, Raab Karcher was among the builder’s merchants in the Federal Republic who were set on a course of expansion. The dealerships operated with their own fleet of lorries that guaranteed on-time delivery of the building materials to the construction site.
