Palfinger offers a comprehensive portfolio of cranes, bucket trucks, crane bodies, hooklifts, and cable hoists tailored to the evolving needs of industries in the region. Among our premium solutions, our truck-mounted forklifts deliver unmatched efficiency for material handling and job site logistics.

Designed in collaboration with industry professionals, both the FHS Side Seat and FHC Center Seat models prioritize operator safety, comfort, and ease of use, making them powerful equipment for lumber, masonry, and construction applications.

All Palfinger truck-mounted forklifts are in the 5,500-pound capacity class and come equipped with features that enhance both safety and operator experience:

• Ground Control: This allows operators to mount and dismount the forklift from a truck or trailer without overextending by climbing up or down.
• Three-Wheel Braking System: This provides 67% more stopping power, improving control and safety even when carrying heavy loads.
• Expanded Floorboard Area: This area offers 70% more foot space, allowing operators to stretch out and reduce leg cramping and foot fatigue during long shifts.
