A combination forklift and truck secured together to allow the forklift to be transported from one site to another by the truck. The truck has a horizontal platform with a back end and has a mounting kit secured underneath the horizontal platform. The mounting kit comprises a mounting frame, a pair of sleeves and a pair of arms slidably received within the sleeves. The arms extend upwardly and outwardly from the back end of the horizontal platform of the truck and terminate in arm ends adapted to engage two hooks secured to the frame of the forklift. When the hooks of the forklift frame are engaged with the arm ends, the forklift is in a raised supported position above the ground.

An earth mover includes a fixed scraper blade and a moveable floor section. The moveable floor section can be pulled rearwardly to provide an opening between the fixed scraper blade and the forward edge of the floor section. The floor section is mounted on tracks which run on the exterior of the sidewalls of the bowl. The forward portion of the tracks are angled upwardly which keeps the floor tight against the bottom of the bowl. When the floor is in the open position, it allows the floor to extend downwardly below the thick scraper blade. This allows the forward edge or blade of the floor section to act as a leveler as the dirt is being unloaded from the earth mover.
