Stop Letting Tight Jobsites Slow Down Deliveries
Alternative setups don’t just waste time. They make tight deliveries harder, limit where you can unload, and force your drivers to work around the jobsite instead of through it.
- Trying to maneuver in tight sites, crowded delivery zones, and around long materials
- Losing valuable payload to heavier forklift setups that reduce your margins
- Frustrating drivers with awkward climbs and hard-to-use machines
- Slowing down operations with complicated controls and hard-to-train equipment
- Risking downtime when service, training, or parts are hard to find
Move Freely. Unload Faster. And Stay On The GO
The 255 4-Way is built for compact maneuverability—helping your fleet move through tight spaces, unload faster, and complete every drop with confidence.
- 4-way maneuverability for tighter sites, long materials, and crowded delivery zones
- Lighter machine, but with more stability—preserving more legal payload on every run
- Man-on-ground mounting for safer, faster everyday use
- No complex electronics—just reliable, easy-to-run equipment that keeps drivers moving
- U.S. support, hands-on training, and ready access to parts

Multidirectional for crowded sites.
The 4-Way variant adds full multidirectional steering on top of the 255 platform — same compact footprint, same 5,500 lb capacity, plus the ability to crab and rotate inside tight delivery zones and around long materials without repositioning the truck.
Best fit for: urban building supply, masonry, and pipe distribution fleets running deliveries to alley access, narrow driveways, or crowded commercial sites.
Typical fleet profiles
- Urban building supply
- Masonry / hardscape
- Pipe & HVAC distribution
- Specialty materials
- Restricted-access routes
Don't need 4-way steering? The 2-Way may be the better fit.

Choose 4-Way if: you handle long materials, crowded delivery zones, or restricted jobsites that demand sideways travel.
FAQ.
What's the practical difference between 2-Way and 4-Way?
2-Way steering uses traditional front-and-rear maneuvering. 4-Way adds full sideways (crab) travel — useful when long materials need to slide into narrow openings without repositioning the truck.
Does the 4-Way carry less than the 2-Way?
No. Both 255 variants rate at 5,500 lbs. The 4-Way is slightly heavier unladen (4,710–5,095 lbs vs 4,495–4,880 lbs) due to the added steering hardware, but rated capacity matches.
How is service handled on the 4-Way?
Same as the 2-Way. U.S. support, hands-on training, parts in stock at the Spencerville, IN, facility.
How does this compare to the Moffett M4 4-Way?
The 255 4-Way is a lighter, simpler alternative to the M4 with man-on-ground mounting standard. We’re happy to walk through a side-by-side.
