A "mount forklift" typically refers to a truck-mounted forklift, also known as a piggyback forklift. These specialized machines attach to the rear of a delivery truck or trailer, allowing a single driver to transport and unload cargo at any site without needing a separate forklift or loading dock. The 2026 market offers a range of new models from leading manufacturers like Manitou, Moffett, and Donkey, with prices typically ranging from $45,000 to $60,000 for new units, depending on capacity, lift height, and features.
