The rental company I rent equipment from uses them for delivery trucks, I also have seen a F650 with a dully bed that did that also.
They are pretty handy.

that is like a mini version of the PLS/LHS the military uses for forward drops of supplies and anything that will fit on the flat rack, the rack itself is different from the ones that work with aircraft, they have a support system under them that helps line them up with the frame of the truck.
can post pics if i can find them

Yeah they have all kinds of different beds you can get with them. The construction companies around here use the dump beds for dumpsters.
