What is a piggyback forklift?
A piggyback forklift is a compact forklift that mounts on the back of a delivery truck or trailer and rides along to the job. The name comes from the way the machine hitches onto the rear of the truck for transport, then detaches at the delivery point to unload the cargo itself. These are also called truck-mounted forklifts or mounted forklifts, and the terms describe the same class of equipment. They are built for building-supply yards, construction sites, agriculture, and logistics fleets that need to deliver and place heavy loads without a loading dock or a second machine waiting on site. A driver can carry the forklift with the truck, drop pallets of brick, block, drywall, or feed exactly where the customer wants them, and reload the forklift in minutes.
Which piggyback forklift brands do we sell?
We stock seven verified brands, six of them in the truck-mounted piggyback class: our piggyback selection is led by Moffett, with Princeton, Sellick, Manitou, Donkey, and Palfinger models filling out the inventory. Sellick and Manitou are listed here as truck-mounted units, not rough-terrain machines. If you need a rough-terrain forklift for soft or uneven ground, that is a separate line for us: we carry the Navigator RT-series for that work. Buying a brand we already stock and know means the machine on our lot has been verified before it is listed, and you can see exactly which model and year you are getting.
How much do used piggyback forklifts cost?
Used piggyback forklift prices are listed directly on each unit in our online inventory, so you see the number before you ever call. Pricing on a truck-mounted forklift depends on the brand, the model year, hours, lift capacity, and condition, which is why we publish a price per stock number rather than a single blanket figure. With roughly 56 units on the lot at any time, the range covers different budgets and duty levels. The fastest way to compare is to open our inventory, sort by what fits your loads, and note the stock numbers that match. Then call us at 360-489-9720 or send a request-a-quote on those specific units and we will confirm availability and details.
How do we ship a purchased forklift to you?
We ship purchased units nationwide from our location in Mesa, AZ. You do not have to be local to buy from us. Once you settle on a unit by phone or request-a-quote, we arrange transport to your yard or job site anywhere in the country. This is what lets a building-supply yard in another state buy a specific Moffett or Princeton off our lot without traveling to see it in person. Because every listing carries the brand, model, and price, you can commit to a machine and have it delivered rather than driving to Arizona to shop.
Can we buy your used piggyback forklift?
We buy used piggyback and truck-mounted forklifts directly from owners, and we buy them outright. If you have a Moffett, Princeton, Sellick, Manitou, Donkey, or Palfinger you no longer need, or a Navigator rough-terrain unit, call us at 360-489-9720 with the brand, model, year, and hours. Buying direct from owners is part of how we keep roughly 56 verified units on the lot, so your machine may become someone else's next delivery forklift. We handle the purchase directly rather than putting you through a consignment or auction process. Have your details ready and we will move quickly on an offer.
How do you buy a unit from us?
You buy from us by phone at 360-489-9720 or by sending a request-a-quote on the unit you want. There is no online checkout and no cart. This keeps the process direct: you tell us the stock number, we confirm the machine is still available, and we handle the sale and shipping from there. Our hours are Monday through Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturday 8am to 1pm, so you can reach a person during the working week and on Saturday morning. Because inventory moves, calling on a specific stock number is the surest way to lock in the exact unit you saw listed.
