The Palfinger FLM 25 is a truck-mounted forklift carried at the rear of a lorry. It is the first middle-seat truck-mounted forklift of Palfinger's FL range and is available in EMEA. Full lifting capacity is 2,500 kg at a dead weight under 2,000 kg. The operator sits centrally and raised, at 1.44 m, with a 360 degree all-round view.
Steering reaches a 180 degree angle, which makes the forklift agile in tight spaces. Telescopic forks and a four-wheel steering mode allow long loads to be handled in a narrow space. The forklift is carried on the lorry rear, unloaded and loaded back at the end of the job.
Truck-mounted forklifts replace a crane or a separate forklift on building sites and in building-materials and beverage trade: the lorry driver unloads pallets, packs and material right at the unloading point, even where there is no ramp and no wheel loader.
Palfinger – From a Repair Shop in Bergheim to a Crane Manufacturer
Richard Palfinger founded a repair shop for agricultural trailers, tippers and vehicle bodies in Bergheim near Salzburg in 1932. In 1959 the firm built its first own crane, and when his son Hubert Palfinger took over management in 1964, production switched to hydraulic loader cranes. Over the following years, Palfinger filed several patents, including for a mast-planting grab (1973) and a folding main boom (1976). In 1974, the truck-mounted forklift was launched as a further product. By 1989 Palfinger was present in over 70 countries, with an export rate above 90 percent; it went public on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 1999. Listed in the register: BM 214.

- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
