The one I used to have I called it the monster-smash, befitting of its nickname it was a cantankerously old clunky difficult to operate monstrosity that would easily smash everything in its way, additionally it had a 15 ft tall jib mounted to the crown of the boom with a winch making it sort of a stiff neck crane. Fork it, hook it or smash it every time we used it became an adventure.
    Similarly around here (NE USA) these are often referred to as "Lull lifts" or just "Lulls" due again to a particular manufacturers brand name becoming a generic term for that style machine.
