Unlike a truck mounted crane or tail-lift the Palfinger truck mounted forklift allows the utilisation of double deck load platforms providing the possibility of 100% more load floor space.
This increased floor space combined with the fllexibility of the Palfinger Truck Mounted Forklift unloading system allows greater possibilities to carry the maximum permitted vehicle payload leading to more deliveries per journey and better economies of scale.
With a double deck the same amount of floor space can be achieved in half the length of load platform.
This can mean a shorter vehicle can be used to allow better manouvrability. It may also be possible to change from using artics to rigid trucks.
