- A traveling chain hoist rail that can be extended outside the vehicle is installed on the ceiling to facilitate the loading of materials that would be difficult to do manually.
- Due to the nature of the vehicle, its existence itself was kept secret, but perhaps because the time of its appearance coincided with changes in the war situation, aviation-related weapons (bombs and torpedoes) and equipment (engine spares and parts) were There are only a few records left of it being used for transportation from factories called factories to air corps around the country.
- After the war, some vehicles were requisitioned by the Allied Forces due to their sturdy structure and running performance, and some vehicles wore express paint as a substitute for Waki 1, but in the 1960s, they were used as substitutes for relief vehicles in various places.
