Another thing to consider is the rear overhang on commercially built
rollbacks. The flatbeds, when stored, seem to hang way out over the rear
axle, so that they don't (I guess) need to go so far back, when they roll
back. This consideration may impact on the retro-built military model. You
may find yourself with a bed that's too long for comfort.

The larger models for moving medium equipment are
rated higher. As are the construction delivery
type roll backs. However, any roll back is really
expensive.

The Dingo and Ferret aren't that high, so I
should be ok. The Humber will have to go on a
trailer.
