In reality the machines are "lift trucks" therefor a lift truck fitted with fork attachments becomes a "fork" lift truck, a clamp attachment makes it a clamp truck etc. Anything fitted to a lift truck for a specific lifting operation is an attachment.
For instance a popular misconception is to call a telescopic machine a telescopic fork lift, whereas its actually a TMH, Telescopic Materials Handler, fitted with any attachment for a specific lifting operation.

Fact of the week
The word "okay" (or its abbreviation "OK") originated as a humorous misspelling. In the 1830s, a fad in Boston involved using abbreviations of intentionally misspelled phrases. "OK" stood for "oll korrect," a playful mispronunciation of "all correct".
