Solved: Wendax 2581 - DKW Schnellaster as a mobile carpet beating machine

A different kind of puzzle, as the base vehicle is easy to find.

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle, especially its purpose.

The base vehicle seems to be a DKW Schnellaster, late 40s to early 60s. (1957 P2 Taunus 17M ahead of it, so perhaps mid 50s?). Was it a transporter for sheets of glass?

You are right about the base, but the purpose was a completely different one.

I note the drop-down curtains for weather protection too.
