Truck Mounted Sod Forklifts - Fast & Light Footed

Turf & Sod Equipment 

As the market leader in truck mounted sod forklifts for over 40 years, Hiab continually invests in industry research and product development with a philosophy of “machines for applications.” This research identified the need for a lightweight, robust, all-wheel drive machine capable of handling and delivering mini-rolls, slabs, and “big rolls” across varying terrains - from challenging new construction job sites to manicured lawns and golf courses.

This has led to the development of the MOFFETT M4 45.3P STM NX sod forklift, which features a static-mast and pantograph reach system which enables one-side unloading at select positions without needing to move your sod truck or trailer. It also offers all- wheel drive; a 4,500 lb capacity and a 25 HP, Tier4 Final-compliant diesel engine.

Truck Mounted Forklift Features

Image

Remote Ground Mount

Remote Ground Mount (RGM) allows the operator to completely mount or dismount the MOFFETT without the need to climb onto or off of an elevated forklift. With up to a 25' range, the wireless remote control allows the operator to stand away from the machine and traffic during the mounting and dismounting process. This means staying out of the line of traffic or other jobsite hazards while giving optimal visibility during the mounting/dismounting process.

Seat Belt Alarm

The seat belt drive-interlock system now has additional alarm options to improve operator safety. The machine is now fitted with alarms, which trigger if the seat belt is not fastened and/or if the side door is not closed in the correct order. The seat presence alarm system is designed to help ensure operators wear the seat belt properly by invoking a 15 second delay if the seatbelt is fastened before the operator enters the seat.

Full Single-Side Off-Loading

Full capacity, single-side offloading is achieved using MOFFETT's Pantograph and patented Lift Assist System™ that allows the forks to reach completely across the deck of the truck or trailer and lift or place a full capacity load, while still maintaining the tilt and side shift functionality of the mast. This eliminates the need to move the truck and trailer from one side of the road to the other to complete the offloading process.
Image

Four Way Travel

Four way steering allows the forklift to operate safely in 4 directions: forward and back as well as left and right. This allows the operator to transport long loads in a much smaller space by carrying the load parallel to travel, eliminating the need to find alternate routes due to obstructions.
