    What is a truck mounted forklift?

    Truck mounted forklifts (also known as piggyback forklifts or truck-mounted forklifts) are industrial trucks used to move and lift goods on almost any terrain. Unlike other types of forklifts, truck mounted vehicles can be attached to a truck. They are an asset to distribution companies, since they can be attached to the back of a goods lorry, travel wherever it goes, then be quickly dismounted and used to load goods, saving companies a lot of time. Truck mounted forklifts do not longer rely on an operator to unload or load the goods to be transported.

    Truck mounted forklift is a strong, yet lightweight piece of loading equipment that is attached to the back of a lorry and transported wherever the lorry goes. The forklift can safely move up to 3.5 tonnes of weight from the lorry delivery point, depending on the model. Thanks to their agile nature, they are perfect for usage in environments that are harder for bigger machines to access and navigate, such as construction sites. However, they are also useful in logistics, agriculture or recycling industries.  

    What are the advantages of truck mounted forklifts?

    Truck mounted forklifts are characterised by versatility and reliability. But they provide many assets:

    • Efficiency: deliver more, faster and better.
    • Elimination of manual handling: no more arduous tasks of loading and unloading goods. Protect your operators' health by avoiding these.
    • Damage reduction: while transporting your goods are exposed to damage. Reduce or even eliminate losses related to transportation and unloading.
    • Productivity: time is money, with a truck mounted forklift, there is no need to wait for staff when unloading on site. You gain in independence and save lots of time.
