Truck with mechanism to pick up loads (8)
I believe the answer is:

'truck with mechanism to pick up loads' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for forklift that I've seen before include "Truck for stacking goods" , "Truck for carrying loads in warehouse" , "Truck with mechanism to pick up loads" , "Truck for raising loads" , "Small load-lifter" .)
