Today we are discussing truck-mounted forklifts and how they are used in today’s world. Truck-mounted forklifts, also known as piggyback forklifts, are mounted on the back of a truck or trailer and load and unload materials from the trailer bed. A truck-mounted forklift is a valuable asset for any driver who handles materials from the back of their trailer. This equipment allows workers to manage worksites without a loading and unloading bay. They tend to be lighter and more agile compared to industrial forklifts.
At Fallsway Equipment we proudly supply two brands of truck-mounted forklifts in Manitou and Navigator.
