Abstract
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.
