FHS 55 4WP
FHS 55 4WP—Side Seat Series
Truck Mounted Forklift
The PALFINGER FHS 55 4WP is the perfect solution for difficult, same-side loading/unloading situations. The reach of the pantograph allows you to lift full-capacity loads from across the truck bed or trailer, while the steering can be switched to the front wheels to allow effortless sideways driving with minimal space requirement.
With the unique PALFINGER Reach System, you can offload from just one side of the truck or trailer, no matter how confined the job site is.
Main Frame Channels
The sturdy main frame uses a Standard 4-in. channel section and roller bearings, which enables the use of larger diameter and wider mast carriage rollers, greatly reducing loading and wear.
Carriage Cylinders
Carriage cylinders are recessed below the mast carriage, providing a lower center of gravity for the machine and added protection from damage caused by falling debris.
