This is a bomb handling crane version of the Burma Jeep, by Filament Fighters.
The US Marines and US Navy used a lot of these in the Pacific.
Most of those little islands captured by the Marines were intended to be use as unsinkable aircraft carriers.
So they needed durable and compact vehicles to service the bombers.
So cranes like this one would carry bombs from the bunkers to the aircraft or from ships to storage, they could also tow strings of bombs on little carts behind the truck.
