Is there such thing as a dry van/box truck with rear forklift attached? Like how a sod or brick open flatbed trailer has the piggy back machines that can go over most terrain? Any links to that kind of a set up or pictures would be appreciated

I’ve seen chicken hatcheries using those.

Doesn’t seem very practical for a dry van. You can get the pallets off the tail, but then you still need a pallet jack to move the rest of them to the rear. At that point you might as well just use a liftgate and pallet jack. Make it an electric pallet jack if it’s something difficult to move.
Maybe there’s some niche uses I’m not thinking about, and I’m sure you could get a custom setup if you really wanted to.D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
I was told by one of the accounts I service those moffetts are not as off road capable as you think. They get stuck all the time and they have to get someone to rock back and forth on the mast to gain traction on sand/dirt

I found one out in the wild the other day. A Moffett on the back of some sort of specialized Tyson trailer, pulled by a JB Hunt Ag Services tractor. Clearly something poultry related, like what @MACK E-6 was referring to.
