This invention relates to a truck mounted forklift (TMFL), more specifically an electrically powered TMFL. The TMFL comprises a U-shaped chassis having a pair of side bars bridged by a rear cross bar, a pair of front wheels, and a rear wheel. The TMFL further comprises a lifting assembly, a driver's station, and a battery pack mounted on the chassis. Each of the front wheels is provided with a dedicated electric wheel motor assembly. The electric wheel motor assemblies each comprise an interior permanent magnet (IPM) motor having a drive shaft, and a planetary gear box coupled to the IPM motor. The planetary gear box is mounted axially in-line with and is driven by the drive shaft. The IPM motor is mounted substantially internal the side bar and the planetary gear box is mounted substantially internal the bounds of the wheel rim. In this way, a very compact configuration of drive assembly for the front wheels is provided.
