Moffett M8 55.3P NX vs Loadmac 855: Truck-Mounted Forklift Comparison

The Moffett M8 55.3P NX tag groups posts that compare this popular pantograph-capable piggyback forklift against the Loadmac 855 Super Reach in real delivery conditions. If you run a Moffett M8 55.3P NX, you already know it’s built for serious jobsite work. The question these posts tackle is simple: when reach, 4-way handling, and mounted weight all matter at the same time, is the traditional spec-sheet comparison telling the whole story?
Across these articles, we break down how the Moffett M8 55.3P NX stacks up against Loadmac’s design approach—especially where many fleets feel the difference first: truck integration, maneuverability, gradeability, and payload impact. The Loadmac 855 Super Reach includes standard integrated second reach (iSR), engineered into the forklift rather than treated like a rare upgrade. On many routes, extra mounted weight shows up as reduced legal payload, increased rear axle load, more suspension stress, and a worse departure angle. That’s why these comparisons focus on the total system: the delivery truck plus the forklift, not just the forklift alone.
This tag is also useful for teams cross-shopping other brands. If you’re a Navigator owner or operator considering a change, the Moffett M8 55.3P NX is often one of the closest “known quantities” to compare against. The posts highlight why some fleets move toward Loadmac for a lighter 4-way configuration, tighter turning radius, less overhang, and improved climbing performance on steep driveways and uneven ground—plus visibility and usability details that speed up drop-off work.
