I think it's a power banding / strapping machine. Definitely seen one before

It looks like it is designed to pull something past the centre plate or to pull itself along a surface. Does it help lift carpet, tiles or other floor covering?

Yes gents, I think you are both on the right lines but I still can't quite figure it out.

It will probably end up stripped down for the bits.
