About This Equipment

The PALFINGER FHS 55 P truck-mounted forklift is a compact, high-visibility material handler ideal for construction, building supply, utility, and contractor fleets that need fast, self-contained loading and unloading at the jobsite. The patented low-profile reach system with integrated side shift and additional tilt gives operators precise load placement while keeping overall height down for transport. A 25° outward swivel seat, large operator platform, and clear right-side and mast visibility make this unit practical for all-day work on crowded sites and tight approaches.

Standard features include all-wheel braking, double lift cylinders behind the mast rails for better sightlines, Class 4 fork carriage opening for fork-tip visibility at working height, and a low-profile engine hood that improves right-side awareness. Heavy-duty components such as 1″ dacrotized lift chains and oversized mast carriage channels and bearings are built for long service life with minimal wear issues. Options like multiple tire packages (trencher grip, skid steer, turf), fork sets (brick/block, lumber, pallet), load backrest, seat cover, and rear-view mirror let you configure the FHS 55 P for your material mix and terrain.

ABM Equipment supports truck-mounted forklifts across Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Upper Midwest with full-service truck upfitting, mobile equipment service, OEM and aftermarket parts, and scheduled maintenance to keep your material handling equipment ready to roll. Our technicians handle crane service, utility truck equipment repairs, DOT and ANSI inspections, dielectric testing coordination, and custom contractor truck equipment builds, and we can help you integrate truck-mounted forklifts with your bucket trucks, boom trucks, digger derricks, or mechanics trucks for a complete, reliable fleet solution.
