A wireless lighting system used with demountable equipment, including truck-mounted forklifts (TMFL). The system includes a transmitter installed in a lighting harness or trailer lighting socket on a transporting vehicle. When the transporting vehicle's notification lights or signals (turn signals, tail lights, brake lights, clearance lights, reverse lights) are activated, a wireless signal is transmitted to a wireless receiver located on the TMFL, and a corresponding light or lights are activated on the TMFL. The system utilizes the power source of the TMFL to power the notification lights of the TMFL while being transported. Further, when the forklift is dismounted and in operation, the wireless lighting system is disabled until the forklift is returned to the transport position on the transport vehicle. This prevents actuation of the lights on the forklift unless the forklift is on the transport vehicle.
