Now Offering MOFFETT Forklifts

The global forklift market is projected to grow to $13 billion by 2025. That’s because different types of material handling equipment like truck-mounted forklifts are cost-effective, 2-in-1 handling systems.

As an authorized MOFFETT forklift dealer, HTX Material Handling is proud to announce that we now offer a wide selection of truck-mounted forklifts. Learn more about truck-mounted forklifts, their benefits, and why you should choose a MOFFETT forklift for your facility.

What Are Truck-Mounted Forklifts?

A truck-mounted forklift, also known as a piggyback forklift, is a truck with an open, payload-carrying bed equipped with a forklift attached to the back. The forklift is secured with hooks, chains, or latches to prevent shifting when the truck is moving.

A truck-mounted forklift’s job is to carry materials to a job site or warehouse. Once it reaches the location, the forklift detaches and deploys to load, unload, and move materials to the site.

Why Choose a MOFFETT Forklift

MOFFETT is committed to creating innovative, efficient truck-mounted forklifts that support safety, cost efficiency, and reliability. When you choose a MOFFETT forklift, you get a wide range of benefits like:

A lightweight, compact material handling unit
Increased load space
A 2-in-1 piece of equipment operated by one qualified employee
Reduced accidents due to manual offloading elimination

Many industries depend on MOFFETT forklifts, from recycling and distribution to industrial gas and building supplies.

Whether you have new or used forklifts, proper fleet management is crucial for successful warehouse operations.

MOFFETT’s Piggyback Forklifts

MOFFETT piggyback forklifts are known for delivering a variety of products under the toughest conditions. As one of the most flexible delivery systems today, MOFFETT forklifts, like the piggyback, are compatible with most truck models and are transported using the unique MOFFETT shock-absorbing mounting kit.

How To Choose The Right Piggyback Forklift

Choosing the right forklift for your needs can be daunting. Here are a few things to consider before choosing a piggyback forklift for your operations:

Application: The first consideration for selecting the right forklift is the application of use. If you’re looking to deliver equipment to a contractor that will move your materials, a piggyback forklift can complete the task efficiently.
Capacity: Other factors to consider are the capacity, pallet weight, and size for offloading. Knowing your pallet capacity helps you choose the right-sized piggyback forklift.
Reach: The final consideration is your reach height. Most piggyback forklifts can reach up to 12 ft. masts, but if you don’t require that high of a reach, it’s more cost-effective to purchase a 10 ft. mast forklift.

Ensure Your Battery Remains Cool

Avoid operating your forklift’s battery in high temperatures to preserve its lifespan. Using or charging the battery in an environment that’s more than 92 degrees Fahrenheit can cut its life expectancy in half. If you work in an environment where operations are completed in extreme heat, choose a battery designed for hot weather conditions.
