It has come up when we've played the "McMaster Game" at our office, in which we attempt to guess random things that McMaster might or might not have.
Interesting things they have had in the past include basketball hoops (in a kit, ready to go, for all your "our institution needs a basketball court... today" needs) and a urinal.
But yes, there are real uses for industrial tricycles -- need to move some stuff (or a person) pretty far pretty quickly inside a warehouse? Industrial tricycle.

They still have them: https://www.mcmaster.com/basketball-hoops/
Don’t buy their basketballs, though. They aren’t RoHS or REACH compliant (https://www.mcmaster.com/45425T23/)
I used to fix machines at an insurance company in Wisconsin that was so big people rode those tricycles with baskets all down the hallways.
