The term piggyback forklift was first used by Teledyne Princeton Delivery Systems when they began to manufacture the Princeton Forklift. A Princeton forklift hooks onto the back of a truck or trailer with a unique mounting and hooking system. Princeton piggyback forklifts are about the second most used brand within the truck mounted forklift industry. This makes them widely available, as well as their parts. When an operator needs to move to a new job site they pull up to the back of the truck or trailer and the forks stick into a mounting system. The piggyback forklift then raises itself and pulls itself into a mounting position. The tires do not touch the ground; therefore, it hangs on the back of the trailer or truck, hence it is called a piggyback forklift. Princeton was bought by Hiab some time ago: which owns the competing and dominant brand called Moffett. Princeton Forklifts were originally manufactured in Columbus Ohio, but they are now built in Ireland. New Princeton forklifts are now very similar mechanically to Moffetts. Beginning 2015 some Princeton piggyback forklifts are completely redesigned for units such as the PB55.3, PB50.3, and now the newer models PB55+, PB50+, PB55X+, PB70+ & PB80+. Models such as the Princeton PB55.4 and now PB55+ 4-Way are basically badge-engineered Moffett in blue paint. Before this, models that were uniquely Princeton where: the PB45, PB50, PBX, PB70 and PB80. As of January 2019, most if not all these models are no longer in production.
