Jager Freight's Moffett Services
When your company is dependent upon seamless, problem-free deliveries, the last thing you want is to be hindered by access limitations or a lack of unloading equipment at your customer’s site. That is where a Moffett delivery is just the thing. At Jager Freight, we transport specialist freight solutions across the UK, and our truck-mounted forklift fleet is set to get your cargo to its destination as speedily, securely, and problem-free as possible.
What is Moffett delivery and why is it employed?
A Moffett is a forklift on the back of a lorry which accompanies your goods on the lorry. When the lorry reaches its final destination, the forklift detaches within minutes and is in a position to discharge, without the necessity of having on-site forklifts or loading bays.
This makes a Moffett delivery particularly worthwhile for areas where there is no equipment or facilities in position, e.g., building sites, remote farm locations, or small business premises. Being able to offload when arriving saves time, reduces costs, and gives you absolute confidence that your delivery will not be held up waiting for external supplies.
In short: it’s the transport and unloading solution in one, giving you a proven way of getting heavy or palletised loads off the lorry and onto the ground with the minimum fuss.
What is a Moffett lorry or truck?
A Moffett lorry or Moffett truck is simply a vehicle with a mounted forklift. Unlike a typical haulage vehicle, a Moffett lorry has an unloading solution built in.
The Moffett truck is light but robust, tightly attaching to the back of the lorry for transport. When it arrives, it’s quickly removed and can be driven off by the driver himself. That flexibility is what makes a truck Moffett so valuable: it’s a delivery truck and an unloading system, packaged in one convenient unit.
What are the benefits of Moffett services?
Choosing Moffett services places your business in the lead. Here’s why:
- Fast, independent unloading – No wait for forklifts or on-site personnel. The driver offloads right away upon delivery.
- Perfect for limited access or off-site areas – A Moffett truck can manoeuvre in tight spaces and offload where heavy equipment can’t reach.
- Less chance of manual handling injury – Heavy lifting is handled by the forklift, which protects workers and decreases accidents.
- Priced right and efficient – There’s no need to pay for additional unloading equipment at every delivery site.
This Moffett solution is all about flexibility, independence, and reliability. With pallets for in-store sales, heavy construction materials, or landscaping supplies, it ensures that your delivery doesn’t simply arrive, it gets positioned precisely where you need it.
What can a Moffett deliver?
A Moffett delivery service can deliver a wide range of products, from standard pallet loads to heavy and specialist items. Typical examples are:
- Palletised stock for warehouses, retailers, and manufacturers
- Building materials such as bricks, steel, timber, windows, glass, and façade elements
- Landscaping materials such as turf, fencing, and garden equipment
- Farm produce such as feed, seed, and fertiliser
- Heavy or bulky products which would otherwise necessitate specialist unloading equipment
The versatility of a Moffett vehicle renders it the most suitable choice for industries that have complex or dynamic delivery requirements. In particular, the construction and infrastructure sectors utilise it widely, as sites may not possess the equipment or space for conventional unloading methods.

Who relies on Moffett delivery services?
Due to its ability to solve numerous logistical issues, Moffett delivery is used in a myriad of different sectors:
- Building companies – where goods need to be unloaded straight onto the site.
- Builders’ merchant companies – moving varied and heavy stock efficiently to customers.
- Garden landscaping companies – delivering turf, fencing, or paving to estates and gardens.
- Manufacturing & retail companies – having palletised loads delivered ready to unload at premises with no forklift facilities.
Essentially, if your products are heavy, palleted, or hard to offload, then a Moffett solution is most likely going to be the best and cheapest option.
What is a Moffett delivery?
It’s straightforward, tried and trusted, and made to get your business moving. Here’s how it works step by step:
- Loading at depot – Products are adequately packed and loaded on the lorry.
- Transport – The forklift, attached to the lorry, arrives at the destination.
- Arrival – The driver unmounts the forklift in minutes at the destination.
- Unloading – The forklift offloads the goods and places them exactly where they are needed.
- Completion – The forklift is mounted back onto the lorry, and the lorry is ready to take its next job.
It’s a straightforward process that delivers peace of mind. With a Moffett delivery service, you’re not left depending on the site’s facilities or staff, it’s all handled as part of the delivery.
