 Invention (the wheels) of the Swede "Brodern Longbers" (again, maybe different spelling). Prototype, but based on a regular forklift I think.

 This type of wheel was invented by Bengt Ilon in 1973 who worked at Mecanum AB. The wheels are sometimes called Mecanum wheels or Ilon wheels after its inventor.

 Who was Brodern Longbers then? :D

 I don't know, did they say it or show a sign with that name in the episode?

Brodern could be mistaken for Bröderna which means Brothers. Brodern means "the brother" but that sounds like a strange name for a company, Bröderna would be more likely.
Longbers could be mistanken for Långbergs or simillar I'd guess? I have googled all types of combinations but I didn't find anything.

This very vehicle is in the link I posted above but it lacks the BL-logo.

 Ok, indeed, might be something with spelling.

 we could list this as Volvo BM perhaps ?

in the background in main pic an old Volvo BM loader, so perhaps this was a Volvo BM experimental project !!!

 OK, good spot. Think we can name it this way. Curious what is this "B" at the doors.
