Truck-Mounted Forklifts & Piggyback Delivery Solutions

Garden State Engine & Equipment (GSE&E) is the Northeast’s premier dealer for truck-mounted forklifts. Often called a piggyback forklift, these compact, powerful machines mount directly to the rear of your truck or trailer, allowing your drivers to unload cargo independently at any job site.

Whether you are delivering lumber to a muddy construction site or sod to a residential lawn, having trucks with forklifts mounted on the back eliminates the need to wait for on-site equipment, significantly reducing your turnaround time and labor costs.

With a focus on top-quality products and unparalleled customer service, we are committed to helping our customers achieve their goals. Whether you are looking for a new or used forklift, or need service and maintenance for your existing equipment, GSE&E has you covered. Visit us today and see how we can help you take your business to the next level.
