Industrial Terrain Telescopic Handler The Industrial Telescopic Handler is a versatile forklift truck that can save space in loading areas due to its ability to "reach" over obstacles; meaning it can load a vehicle from just one side. It can use a multitude of attachments including forks, clamps, buckets and shovels and adequate training is required for each attachment. Categories:

Vehicle Mounted Lift Truck (MOFFETT) Drivers with a lorry licence can expand their skills and job prospects with a truck mounted forklift certificate, known as a Moffett Mounty. The Transportable Lift Truck is attached to the rear of the truck, which you then hitch or un-hitch from the host vehicle and use the machine to load and unload cargo.

Vehicle Mounted Hydraulic Lorry Loader (HIAB)

Vehicle Mounted Hydraulic Lorry Loader is a piece of heavy machinery that uses hydraulic attachments to pick up and deposit material onto a long bed at the rear of the vehicle. A lorry loader takes on the tasks of moving large amounts of material to, from and around construction sites. Their usage saves a lot of time and also multiple trips, allowing labour to be focused on other areas of the

project.
