Truck Mounted Forklifts
Mounted on the rear of a carrier vehicle, the PALFINGER truck-mounted forklift will accompany you right to your place of use, opening up unprecedented possibilities in terms of transportation. A truck-mounted forklift means complete independence for our customers as additional unloading devices are not required. PALFINGER truck-mounted forklifts offer safety and longevity as well as a high level of operator comfort and optimum maneuverability.
Hooklifts
The key word is “simple”. First, the operator backs the truck toward the container. With the in-cab controls, the operator switches on the power take-off, lowers the hydraulic arm and engages the container with the hook. He then activates the two main cylinders that pull the container onto the chassis and locks it into position. The operator then turns off the power take-off and drives away.

PALFINGER provides diverse solutions to grow your business in timber, refuse, scrap, rail and off-road applications with our full line of EPSILON Loaders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Presale: What You Should Know
When should I start planning my next equipment purchase?
OEH recommends starting the planning process 4 to 8 months before your desired installation date. While our installation timelines are reliable and well-managed, early planning helps secure availability, optimize costs, and ensure a smoother project execution.
What can affect delivery timelines?
Global supply chain disruptions and economic conditions can impact material availability across the industry. To minimize delays, OEH maintains stock equipment, either pre-mounted on trucks or ready for installation, whenever possible. This proactive approach helps reduce downtime and keep projects on schedule.
Do you offer financing?
OEH offers multiple financing solutions:
- Loans
- Leasing (most popular)
- Exclusive Manitou Rent-to-Own Program
Leasing allows you to preserve borrowing capacity, as the equipment does not appear as debt on your balance sheet.
Rent-to-Own (Manitou):
- Lock in pricing with a purchase agreement.
- Rent the unit.
- Apply up to 3 months of rental payments toward purchase once you’re ready.
Can I rent equipment from OEH?
Yes. OEH offers rentals including:
- Man baskets
- Straight mast forklifts
- Rotating telehandlers
- Heavy-capacity forklifts (20,000 lbs+)
OEH does not currently offer cranes for rental.
How do I know which truck is required for my equipment?
OEH removes the guesswork. Our in-house engineering team considers:
- Axle load distribution
- GVWR compliance
- Provincial regulations
- Centre of gravity and stability
- Hydraulic reach requirements
The result: a legal, optimized, and performance-driven solution—no guesswork, no wasted investment.

Cranes: Key Information for Buyers and Operators
How do I choose the right crane model?
Selecting the right crane can feel complex. Our sales team is here to guide you with personalized recommendations based on your application and operational needs. You can also explore our completed projects for inspiration.
Can an existing crane be transferred to a new truck?
Yes. OEH completes several crane transfers each year. We evaluate the condition of your existing crane and provide recommendations to maximize its lifespan and value—helping you make the most cost-effective long-term decision.
Can a crane be used for tree cutting?
Yes. Certain crane models can be equipped with hydraulic saws at the boom tip. OEH offers tree-cutting solutions across all supported brands.
What training is required to operate a crane?
OEH recommends crane operators complete 0–8T certification (owner’s discretion; not mandated in Ontario). Certification is provided through approved third-party trainers.
All crane deliveries include operator familiarization, and re-training is available for new staff. Our goal is to provide peace of mind to owners and fleet managers.
Can a crane be short-rigged?
Yes. Palfinger cranes feature HPSC (High Performance Stability Control) technology, allowing safe short-rigging while automatically adjusting load charts based on real-time stability conditions.
Can I rent a crane?
OEH does not rent cranes. We design and build custom truck-mounted crane solutions for our customers. For flexible lifting needs, rotating telehandlers such as the Manitou MRT 3570 can perform many crane-level tasks with added versatility.
