Princeton Delivery Systems PB36.1+

Truck-mounted or “piggyback” forklifts attach to the back of a truck or trailer for easier transport, which both eliminates the need for an extra vehicle to haul it and leaves all of the truck’s or trailer’s space for carrying equipment and materials. These machines are often compact, weighing between 1,588 to 3,175 kilograms (3,500 and 7,000 pounds), and have maximum lift capacities ranging from 1,361 to 3,629 kg (3,000 to 8,000 lbs). Most truck-mounted forklifts have diesel engines and either three or four wheels.

Versatile Machines

Truck forklifts are used in a wide range of industries, including beverage distribution, construction, agriculture, and lumber. Companies use them to perform a variety of tasks, including lifting building materials, like drywall, bricks, and wood. These machines are especially popular in construction, as they facilitate quick loading and unloading. In fact, some manufacturers claim that you can mount or unmount their models in less than one minute, which makes them well-suited for time-sensitive applications as well, including laying freshly cut sod.
