Advantages That Matter on the Job

• Dependable diesel power: The Kohler diesel powerplant is recognized for consistent starts, efficient fuel use, and straightforward service procedures, helping minimize downtime and control operating costs.
• All-terrain confidence: Purpose-built rough terrain construction supports work on gravel, dirt, and uneven surfaces often found on construction and industrial delivery sites.
• Traction and agility: The three-wheel layout delivers strong traction while remaining nimble in tight staging areas, alleys, and congested jobsites where turning radius and positioning are critical.
• Operator visibility: The wide-view mast design enhances sightlines to the forks and load, helping operators place materials accurately, reduce damage risk, and work efficiently around obstacles.
• Workable lift height: With 144 inches of lift, operators can load and unload from a range of truck and trailer deck heights and position materials where crews can access them quickly.
• Real-world capacity: With the ability to handle 5,500 pounds, this forklift covers the majority of palletized building products, from bundles of lumber and shingles to brick, block, and bagged materials.
• Precision placement: Side shift allows fine adjustments without repositioning the entire machine, saving time and helping protect materials and structures when space is tight.
• Delivery efficiency: Because it rides on the delivery vehicle, a truck mounted piggyback forklift streamlines offloading at the point of use, reducing labor requirements and avoiding jobsite equipment constraints.

Applications

• Building materials delivery: Ideal for lumber, panel goods, engineered wood, roofing shingles, and drywall, especially when access is limited or surfaces are unpaved.
• Masonry and hardscape: Efficiently moves pallets of brick, block, stone, and pavers directly to staging areas or points of installation.
• Roofing supply: Places bundles where crews need them at ground level, improving turn times and minimizing manual handling.
• Industrial and MRO logistics: Supports plant deliveries where dock access is limited or load placement must happen outdoors on uneven surfaces.
• Agriculture and landscape supply: Handles bagged aggregates, fertilizer, seed, mulch, and sod pallets across varied terrain.
• Events and rental: Moves equipment, fencing, and temporary infrastructure in fields, lots, and fairgrounds where typical forklifts struggle.

Ownership Value

Owning a truck mounted piggyback forklift like the Princeton PB55.3 can transform delivery economics. By bringing your own material handling capability to every stop, you spend less time waiting for jobsite equipment, make more deliveries per shift, and reduce damage caused by improvised unloading. The diesel engine’s fuel efficiency and long service intervals help manage operating costs, while the straightforward layout and widely supported components aid serviceability. Buying used amplifies that value: you secure proven capability at a lower acquisition cost, with depreciation already absorbed by the first owner. The PB55.3’s balanced combination of capacity, terrain performance, and visibility makes it a versatile asset that can generate returns across multiple sectors, seasons, and job profiles.
