 truck-mounted forklifts (TMFLs) streamline material handling and transportation, offering a dual-function solution. These forklifts, attachable to truck beds, enhance operational efficiency by enabling direct loading and unloading at sites, reducing manual handling and damage risks. Ideal for various industries like construction, recycling, and agriculture, they boast compact design, labor savings, and do not compromise truck load space. Essential for businesses seeking agile and cost-effective logistics solutions, PiggyBack® forklifts embody versatility and convenience in material transport.

what can we do?

Efficiency and Versatility:

A TMFL (truck mounted forklift)  is essentially a truck with an open, payload-carrying bed and a forklift attached to the back. The forklift is secured using hooks, chains, or latches to prevent shifting during transit.

Upon arrival at a job site or warehouse, the forklift is detached and deployed independently of the host truck. It can load, unload, and move materials precisely where needed.

This integrated system eliminates costly double-handling, streamlining the delivery process and reducing product damage.

Applications Across Industries:

Construction: In cluttered construction sites, where space is limited, PiggyBack® forklifts maneuver easily to unload materials like lumber, bricks, roofing shingles, and drywall.

Recycling: These forklifts handle tough tasks, such as offloading incoming recyclables and delivering baled paper, plastic, and metal waste for outbound shipment.

Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Forklifts efficiently move pallets of drums, crates, and stacked boxes to various locations.

Gas/LPG: TMFL’s forklifts transport potentially flammable containers safely, eliminating manual handling.

Agriculture: On farms, they deliver everything from fertilizers to animal feed, round bale’s, square bales, and fencing supplies.

Advantages:

Compact Design: Truck-mounted units are lighter and more maneuverable than traditional industrial forklifts.

Space-Saving: Since they’re mounted on the rear of a truck, they don’t occupy valuable load space on the truck bed itself.

Labor Savings: The 2-in-1 equipment reduces the need for separate handling machinery, saving labor costs.
