Why Loadmac 855 Truck-Mounted Forklifts Outshine Moffett & Donkey
Note: While the term “piggyback forklift” is often colloquially used to describe a truck-mounted forklift, it is important to clarify that the term is a trademark of the Princeton® brand. However, due to common usage and search trends on the Internet, we will be using the term “piggyback forklift” in this context. This is done because many people mistakenly use it interchangeably with the term “truck-mounted forklift.” At GoLoadmac.com, while we are an authorize seller for Loadmac, we also specialize in used Moffett® truck mounted forklifts and Princeton® piggyback forklifts, and we offer a range of used equipment solutions to meet the diverse needs of our customers. Please note that all brand names, including Moffett®, Princeton®, and Loadmac®, are registered trademarks of their respective owners.
In the new piggback forklifts industry, the Loadmac truck mounted forklifts are an indispensable tool across various building materials applications. Commonly referred to as a piggyback forklift, this versatile equipment—also known by names like Moffett or Donkey forklifts—is essentially a forklift that attaches securely to the rear of a truck or trailer. It typically has an open, payload-carrying bed, and the forklift is held in place with hooks, chains, and latches, ensuring safe transportation.
Benefits of New Piggyback Forklifts in Material Handling
The primary advantage of a truck mounted forklift, such as a piggyback forklift, lies in its ability to offload materials directly from a flatbed truck without the need for expensive machinery like conveyors, drywall booms, or knuckle booms. For those looking for a cost-effective solution, investing in a piggyback forklift is a practical alternative, allowing materials to be placed on the ground quickly.
Agility and Space Optimization in Confined Areas
In industries like construction and agriculture, where space can be tight and terrain unpredictable, the agility of piggyback forklifts is particularly beneficial. Their compact design enables them to navigate confined or crowded areas, such as busy construction sites or uneven agricultural fields. This adaptability allows businesses to deliver materials directly to challenging locations without requiring extensive infrastructure or traditional loading docks, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
Maximizing Transportation Efficiency
Furthermore, piggyback forklifts contribute to space optimization during transport. Since they are mounted at the back of trucks, they don’t take up valuable cargo space, allowing businesses to maximize the volume of materials transported in a single trip. This reduces the number of trips required and decreases fuel consumption and other transportation-related expenses, ultimately boosting profitability.

We offer two standout forklift models. Our most popular model, the 855, has a 5,500 lb capacity and features standard extended reach. This allows operators to unload from one side of the truck by reaching across the bed to pick up materials.
