What is a Moffett forklift? A Moffett forklift is a material handling unit that mounts on the back of a truck or trailer. It is designed to be lighter than a conventional lift in yet it still has the lifting capacity to handle the weight of most of the materials products that are being delivered for construction sites. They are designed for rough terrain and off the road operations. Moffett forklifts are used by lumberyards, construction materials dealers and manufacturers, sod farms, landscape suppliers, and other building materials companies.
The Moffett forklift was the first truck mounted forklift to enter the marketplace. It revolutionized the way lumber and other building materials were delivered to job sites. Over the years other manufacturers have tried to imitate, duplicate and simulate it, but the brand's design in functionality has not been surpassed. No other manufacturer comes close to dominating the market as Moffett still does

From 1986 to 2006 is what we refer to as the “old” body style. This generation was boxy in appearance and had an all steel body panel design. The most common models are the M5000 and M5500. Other models include the M4000E, M4500, and M8000. When 4W is added to the model number, that refers to the unit having the 4-Way multi-directional option. The number after the “M” refers to the lifting capacity in LBS.
