Raised by machine

Forklifted is the past tense of forklift, meaning to move or lift something using a forklift—a vehicle with pronged forks for raising heavy loads.

The verb emphasizes mechanical handling rather than manual labor: The pallets were forklifted onto the truck.

Sometimes used figuratively for any heavy or awkward lifting: We forklifted the couch up three flights of stairs.
