Truck Mounted Forklifts For Sale

About Truck-Mounted Forklifts

Truck mounted, or piggyback, forklifts attach to the back of a truck or trailer for easier transport, which eliminates the need for an extra vehicle to haul it and leaves space for carrying equipment and materials. These machines are often compact, weighing between 3,500 and 7,000 pounds (1,588 to 3,175 kilograms), and have maximum lift capacities ranging from 3,000 to 8,000 pounds (1,361 to 3,629 kilograms). Most truck-mounted forklifts have diesel-powered engines and either three or four wheels.

Versatile Machines

Truck forklifts are used in a wide range of industries, including beverage distribution, construction, agriculture, and lumber. Operations use them to perform a variety of tasks, including lifting building materials, like drywall, bricks, and wood. These machines are popular in construction, mainly because you can mount them on the back of the trailer used for hauling materials for quick loading and unloading. In fact, some manufacturers claim that you can mount or unmount their models in less than one minute, which makes them well suited for time-sensitive applications as well, including laying freshly cut sod.
