Palfinger introduces truck-mounted forklift line
Palfinger unveiled its FHS Series of truck-mounted forklifts. The exterior has a higher ground clearance, lower profile engine hood, powder coated chassis and contemporary angular styling. Inside the operator cabin is a patented swivel seat assembly with 25-degree outward rotation, which increases access when entering and exiting the machine. Finally, there is an integrated side guard providing extra protection for the operator. The Palfinger Ground Control System comes standard on all models and allows operators to mount and dismount the forklift from a truck or trailer without climbing on board. Palfinger’s Reach forklift extends the forks forward to the centerline of the trailer, while the mast remains firmly against the side of the truck or trailer. This allows the operator to lift full-capacity loads at maximum reach while retaining the ability to tilt and side shift.
