Truck Mounted Forklifts – Sod Loaders for Landscape, Sod, and Construction Delivery | Piggyback Forklifts | 4,000–5,500 lb Capacity | Outdoor Job Sites

Truck Mounted Forklifts for Sod, Landscape, and Construction Delivery

Truck mounted forklifts — also known as sod loaders or piggyback forklifts — are designed for fast, flexible unloading of sod, landscaping materials, and construction supplies directly from delivery trucks. These 3‑wheel outdoor forklifts mount to the rear of flatbeds or trailers and detach quickly for job‑site deployment.

Sod loaders are engineered for off‑road delivery, tight access unloading, and independent operation at landscape, construction, and agricultural sites. With 4,000–5,500 lb capacities, diesel power, and 3‑wheel maneuverability, these units unload pallets of sod, stone, fencing, and building materials without relying on customer equipment. This category captures long‑tail search intent such as “truck mounted sod loader,” “piggyback forklift for landscape delivery,” “3‑wheel sod forklift Canada,” and “off‑road forklift for trailer unloading.” Crosslinks naturally connect to Outdoor Material Handling, CSA Certification, Service & Repairs, and Heavy‑Duty Equipment Rentals.
