Lull type fork truck? Do you mean a telehandler? I.e. a telescoping boom with forks on an AWD buggy?
Yes. We rented one to unload the cabin kit from the 18 wheelers when we had it delivered 20 years ago. It was a JCB. Amazing machine. Self leveling. 4wd. Independent all wheel steering. We rented it a second time to place the upper level logs.

When buying trusses you need to spec the live load you intend to put on them, ie the weight of insulation and ceiling. For a house they will probably include live load, for a barn probably not. If you spec floor space built in, it will have at least 30 psf built in. It’s up to you to specify. The trusses will come with the paperwork to show the inspector IF you pay for engineered stamped drawings.
That is good to know. Probably will not need storage or insulation but there will be a ceiling, lights and probably some fans.

I'll amplify the guy who said to get larger overhangs than you think you need. The taller the building the larger the overhang. We built a 40x60 3-bay outbuilding last year, three 14ft tall doors, with a 4 foot overhang front and back and it ended up perfect

And don't bother building your own trusses. Too much time and frustration.
