A truck mounted forklift comprises a u-shaped chassis having a rear crossbar and a pair of side plates, each of the side plates being connected to one end of the rear crossbar and projecting forwardly therefrom A lifting assembly is mounted on the chassis comprising a carriage movable forwards and backwards along the chassis, an upright boom support mounted on the carriage and an extendable boom pivotally mounted on the uppermost end of the boom support. There is provided means to pivot the boom about its mounting and means to move the carriage forwards and backwards on the chassis. In this way, the reach of the forklift may be improved while at the same time not impairing the stability and manoeuverability of the forklift. Furthermore, the weight and overhang of the forklift are not impaired by such a construction.
