PALFINGER Launches FLM 15 Electric Truck-Mounted Forklift for Modern Logistics

PALFINGER FLM 15 Electric Truck-Mounted Forklift

PALFINGER has expanded its truck-mounted forklift portfolio with the launch of the FLM 15, a compact middle-seat model designed for efficient operation in confined logistics environments.

The FLM 15 is lightweight, precise and engineered to deliver high performance in space-constrained applications. Its fully electric version offers a quiet, low-emission solution, making it particularly suitable for beverage and retail sector operations.

With this addition, PALFINGER now offers a comprehensive range of truck-mounted forklifts, including side-seat and middle-seat models, standard and 4-way variants, as well as diesel and fully electric options. The portfolio also includes remote-controlled and box-mounted models, catering to diverse industry requirements.

Backed by premium manufacturing, robust construction and a strong global sales and service network, PALFINGER continues to strengthen its position as a leading provider of material handling solutions across global markets.

The FLM 15: precise, compact and reliable

The latest addition to the FL range has been developed to meet the special requirements of beverage and retail logistics where strength, efficiency, and precise handling are key. With its compact design and a load capacity of 1.5 tons, combined with the lowest weight in its class starting at 1,420 kilograms (without forks), it performs particularly well in confined work areas.

Its sensitive drive system and responsive controls make the FLM 15 the ideal transport solution for fragile goods such as glass bottles. Its compact mast and optimized front wheels enable maximum control when moving loads.

“We listen to our customers very closely and consistently integrate their requirements into our product development,” says Gerhard Auer, VP Product Line Special Lifting Solutions at PALFINGER. “The FLM 15 is the result: lightweight, efficient and reliable. It combines controlled operation, low weight and maximum availability, making it precisely tailored to the needs of retail and beverage businesses.”

Convenience and safety teamed up with full electric operation

All models in the FL range, side-seat and middle-seat, are also available as fully electric versions. They are almost noiseless and emission-free on site. Thanks to their low weight and electric drive system, they are perfect for applications where conventional solutions have reached their limits, such as narrow driveways, late and early deliveries in the dark, or indoors where there are strict noise and emissions regulations.

The FLM series offers the very latest level of convenience to make every delivery easier. With the centered and elevated seat position and the externally routed hydraulic lines along the mast, the operator has a 360° view. In addition, the FLM series provides a wide roof for comprehensive weather protection and large side panels for maximum safety, strength and a superior operating experience.

Strategy 2030+: Lifting Customer Value

The FLM 15 demonstrates how the recently launched Strategy 2030+ works in practice. “Solutions like the FLM 15 bring our strategy to life. We are pushing limits, setting trends and translating specific customer needs into smart lifting solutions, supported by the highest quality and sustainable services,” explains Alexander Susanek, COO of PALFINGER.

The Strategy 2030+ follows a holistic approach: With maximum customer focus, targeted investments and optimized processes, PALFINGER is strengthening its position on the market and creating the basis for sustainable, profitable growth. In line with the strategic direction Lifting Customer Value, PALFINGER develops solutions that offer real added value over the entire life cycle.
