Truck-mounted (piggyback forklifts), reach forklifts and shooting boom forklifts are all heavy-duty industrial forklifts, typically found at construction sites and lumberyards

Piggyback forklifts attach easily and quickly to the back of any truck or trailer for easy transport to any work site. Piggyback forklifts are rugged enough to operate efficiently even among the roughest terrain. Reach forklifts can move loads as heavy as 5,000 pounds, and reach as high as 45 feet. Reach forklifts lift materials to considerable heights, placing very large loads into trucks or onto platforms. For the most extreme material lifting situations, a shooting boom forklift is the way to go. Shooting boom forklifts have a huge lifting arm for picking up the heaviest objects.

Brand names for piggyback forklifts include Princeton, Moffet and Stonehall, to name a few. Shooting boom forklift manufacturers include, among many others, JLG, Cat forklifts and Yale forklifts. Reach forklift companies include Hyster forklifts, Drexel forklifts, Crown forklifts and many others.
