About This Equipment

The PALFINGER FHS 55 STD truck-mounted forklift is a compact, high-visibility material handler ideal for building supply, construction, municipal, and utility fleet work where fast curbside or jobsite unloading matters. Ultimate visibility through the mast and class IV carriage, a low-profile engine hood, and all-wheel braking give operators precise load control and confidence in tight yards, alleys, and uneven ground.

This FHS 55 STD is the lightest laden weight in the PALFINGER truck-mounted lineup, helping you maximize legal payload on your transport truck or trailer. Standard features include a 25° outward swivel seat for easier cab entry/exit, industry-leading operator floor space with trip hazards removed, patented integrated side operator guard, double lift cylinders behind the mast for better sightlines, oversized mast carriage channels and bearings, and superb access to engine and hydraulic components for daily checks and service. Options such as multiple tire packages (trencher grip, skid steer, turf), load back rest, rear-view mirror, seat cover, and a full range of fork styles (brick/block, lumber, pallet, long-load) let you dial the machine in for your work.
