Frequently Asked Questions
What is a truck mounted forklift?
A truck mounted forklift, or TMF for short, is a category of equipment used to load or unload heavy materials during onsite deliveries. Most significantly, a Truck mount forklift "mounts" to the back of a cargo carrying transport vehicle. It can easily be transported from site to site.
Do you need a license to drive a forklift?

Can I operate a truck mounted forklift on the road?
