FHS 55 Series

Truck-Mounted Forklifts


All New FHS Series

We didn't design our forklift with you in mind - we created it with you by our side. The reinvented FHS Series forklift wasn't born in a conference room or as an engineering doodle. Instead, it all started with YOU:


  • The Fleet Managers - who want a stronger, safer, more comfortable and powerful forklift with incredible visibility and maneuverability to efficiently deliver products on and around your customers' job sites

  • The Company - that needs to deliver masonry products through soft sugar sands or up steep hills with ease

  • The Operator - who must navigate over spotless driveways, manicured lawns and confined backyards to deliver building materials. The result is a product with new features, innovations, and patents that permits us to say we have truly reinvented the truck-mounted forklift. The new FHS Series forklift combines the highest level of convenience with a very appealing design and purposeful technologies. We stand by our product and back it up with our national service network, which will keep you on the road, working day after day.
