An impact attenuator safety truck with a configurable flatbed capable of carrying a forklift. The safety truck provides a crash barrier for roadway construction projects using impact absorbing sections (TMAs) that are movable from a stowage position above the surface of the flatbed, thereby allowing the entire surface of the flatbed for storage. The forklift is secured to the flatbed when the impact absorbing sections are in the stowage position. When the impact absorbing sections are in a deployed position, the forklift can access the flatbed surface from either side. A pair of hydraulic cylinders in combination with pivot arms and a cradle allows rotating of the impact absorbing sections between the stowage position and deployed position.
